Aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri had last week said that airlines can accept domestic bookings after 14 April, unless the lockdown is extended NEW DELHI : The government’s decision to allow advance flight bookings from 14 April before it decides to lift the nationwide lockdown is likely to leave thousands of passengers in the lurch, aviation consultancy Capa India said on Thursday. “As and when the lockdown is lifted and the structure of the transition period is known, the ministry of civil aviation should only allow resumption of bookings in sectors that will be operated by Indian airlines during the transition and not the entire network," it said.
