The cap on the number of domestic flights that Indian airlines are permitted to operate was increased from 70 per cent to 80 per cent of their pre-Covid levels on Thursday, said Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.

“Domestic operations recommenced with 30,000 passengers on May 25 and have touched a high of 2.52 lakh on November 30,” Puri tweeted. The ministry had resumed scheduled domestic passenger services from May 25, after a gap of two months due to the Covid lockdown. — PTI
