With domestic airline operations resuming May 25, the Ministry of Civil Aviation issued a sweeping set of guidelines Thursday for air travel amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Among the guidelines are mandatory use of Aarogya Setu, face masks, careful monitoring of boarding and disembarkation with curbs on baggage, no food or reading material onboard, transport to and from the airport only in personal or authorised vehicles, thermal screening near the entry gate and web check-in.
Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri spoke to The Indian Express:
Why was there a delay in announcement of resumption of domestic air traffic in a phased manner?
