India’s domestic civil aviation operations continue steadily and the sector is nearing
pre-pandemic levels, according to Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.
As many as 257,613 passengers flew locally as on January 22, compared with 30,000 passengers that traveled by air when such flights were restarted on May 25, Puri said in a Twitter post. “We are now within touching distance of pre-Covid figures.†India has allowed local airlines to fly limited schedules since May after two months of
a strict nationwide lockdown, gradually opening up the domestic market.
