After several speculations and opposition on the resumption of domestic flight operations from Monday in Maharashtra due to the increasing number of novel coronavirus cases in the state, Maharashtra government on Sunday agreed to allow limited takeoffs and landings at Mumbai airport. "Initially the state government will allow 25 takeoffs and 25 landings every day from the capital city.
This number will be increased gradually," said Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik. "State government will issue details and guidelines in this regard soon," he added.
Earlier today, Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray said that he has requested the Centre to give the state some more time to resume domestic air travel in the state.
