Amid rise in coronavirus infections, Civil Aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Saturday said that there is no intention to curtail flight services in the near term.
“No intention of curtailing flight services, we’ve been further reopening it,” Puri said
Earlier the plan was to open it 100 per cent when summer schedule begins from April 1 from the current levels of 80 per cent, but we can’t do it now now due to the second spike of coronavirus infections, he said.
Just before the national lockdown was announced last year, domestic flights were halted in March and resumed later on May 25.
