We Will Reach Pre-Covid Mark of 3 Lakh Air Passengers by Dec 31, Says Aviation Minister

News 18  

Even as India records an unprecedented spike in the number of new Coronavirus cases in India, the country has been easing down on the restrictions that were put on different modes of travel, be it by air or by road. We find out the answers to these questions in our conversation with the Civil Aviation Minister of India, Hardeep Singh Puri where he tells us that air travel is the safest form of travel and that India will reach pre-covid levels of air passengers by the end of 2020. If you have to start international civil aviation like in the pre-Covid times, your domestic civil aviation must reach a certain threshold, about 50% or more. Because international flights will come into Mumbai, Calcutta or Bengaluru and possibly, the international passenger won’t have the required domestic flight to take after that. If you don’t run a metro or public transport system, it doesn’t mean people are not going to travel, unless they are quarantined.
