Air India on Saturday announced it has opened bookings on select domestic and international routes from May 4 and June 1, respectively, only to be told off by the government.
“The Ministry of Civil Aviation clarifies that so far no decision has been taken to open domestic or international operations. Airlines are advised to open their bookings only after a decision in this regard has been taken by the Government,” Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said.
Puri’s remarks came hours after Air India had announced the sale of tickets for domestic and international travel.
