As the domestic aviation sector is looking up to fly back to its pre-Covid numbers — of passengers and of flights — by New Year, opening up new routes remains one of the focus of the airlines. Domestic flights resumed from May 25 after a gap of two months, but not without hiccups as several states imposed restrictions on the number of daily flights. As India has entered the fifth phase of the unlocking and schools, cinema theatres have also been allowed to resume functions, airlines are looking at high demand, ahead of the festive season.
