NEW DELHI: The government will soon allow domestic private airlines to operate flights to bring back Indians stuck on foreign soil, a respite to carriers grounded since late March, officials said.
The decision was taken after aviation secretary Pradeep Sigh Kharola on Tuesday convened a meeting with airlines to discuss the economic hit and ways to help the industry overcome the crisis.
“Fares and flights private carriers will operate are still under discussion and will be announced soon,” a senior government official told ET.
