aviation market in India is currently recovering after the Omicron variant suppressed the demand in January. Around 76.96 lakh domestic passengers travelled by air in February, approximately 20 per cent more than in January.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), in its order, said that the restriction of keeping three seats vacant on international flights for handling medical emergencies related to Covid-19 stands removed. "Airlines may carry a few additional PPE protective gears, sanitiser and N-95 masks, to handle any respiratory infections related to cases on air, for passengers as well as the crew," the MoCA noted.

It said it had allowed full domestic flight operations from October 18, 2021, and has now decided to recommence scheduled international flight operations from March 27, 2022, "in view of the declining Covid-19 cases, high level of vaccinations and prevailing Covid-19 situation".

The requirement of complete PPE kit for crew member stands removed, the MoCA stated. "However, use of face mask and maintenance of hand hygiene/sanitiser continue to be mandatory," it added.
