The aviation industry in India has geared up to limit the damage from the Covid-19 epidemic. While airlines have issued advisories asking pilots and crews to wear masks, airports in Mumbai and Delhi have installed thermal cameras to screen passengers.
The aviation industry is one of the most vulnerable and travel has taken a hit. Most airlines have cancelled flights and even sent staff on leave.
Shares of airline companies fell as much as 5 per cent on Friday. IndiGo plunged 4.80 per cent to Rs 1,300 on the BSE. The SpiceJet stock closed 4.69 per cent lower at Rs 83.30.
