AMETHI: India’s domestic passenger traffic has reached more than half of pre-coronavirus pandemic level operations with the number of daily air travellers crossing over two lakh in November, a top official of the Union ministry of civil aviation (MOCA) said on Saturday.
MOCA secretary Pradeep Singh Kharola said when flights resumed after a hiatus of two months due to the Covid-19 outbreak, there were only 30,000 air passengers on the first day but the number reached over two lakh on November 2.
He also said almost 100 per cent of bookings and check-ins are now happening through the web and hailed the country’s aviation fraternity for adapting “very well” to the “new normal”.
