MUMBAI : Aviation consultancy CAPA on Thursday said allowing domestic airlines to take advance bookings from April 15 is “unfair” to consumers since a decision on lifting the nationwide lockdown is yet to be taken.
During the lockdown period, only special flights approved by aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), medical evacuation flights and those carrying cargo, including medical equipment, to and from different parts of the country are operational.
While the government is yet to decide on lifting the lockdown, Indian airlines have started taking bookings for travel on domestic flights from April 15. Air India has suspended sale of tickets for domestic and international flights till April 30.
