Coronavirus lockdown: Some airlines taking bookings from May 16
Even as the civil aviation minister directed domestic airlines not to accept bookings till the coronavirus pandemic has been controlled, some airlines have started selling tickets for travel from May 16 onwards.
According to information available on online ticket booking platform makemytrip.com, a few airlines are taking bookings. However, they are not sure if the travel will actually commence from that day, industry sources said.
In a circular issued on April 19, Director General of Civil Aviation directed all airlines to refrain from taking bookings from May 4 onwards. “Airlines will be given sufficient notice and time for restarting of operations,” DGCA said in the circular.
