NEW DELHI: The government is likely to allow airline companies resume operation of local passenger flights by 18 May, people aware of the development told Mint on Monday.
An announcement to this effect could be made by Wednesday, an official at the aviation ministry told Mint.
The government had cancelled all trains and airlines as part of its enforcement of the national lockdown that it implemented in three consecutive phases. Post the 40-day lockdown that ended 3 May, the government extended it by another two weeks with some relaxations.
