The survey found that air transport is considered the safest form of travel by a wide margin for inter-city travel — 68 per cent of respondents felt air travel is safe. While driving was considered safe by 24 per cent of the travellers, rail travel was considered safe by just 8 per cent.
“Factors such as lack of social distancing by other passengers (62 pc of respondents), quarantine measures by states (55 pc) and sitting in the aircraft with so many people (55 pc) have been identified as key deterrents for air travel,” said the survey.
