Govt allows domestic carriers to increase flights to 60% of Pre-COVID times

As passenger demand increases and airlines are flying with more seats full, the aviation ministry today allowed airlines to increase the number of flights to 60% of the total flights operated pre-COVID from 45% currently.

The review was done after a total number of flights operated by commercial airlines in India crossed 1,000 flights a day during the month of August. On the first day of September, airlines operated 1,121 flights a day.
