Cash-strapped Indian airlines have reopened bookings for domestic flights from as early as 16 May
New Delhi: Cash-strapped Indian airlines have reopened bookings for domestic flights from as early as 16 May, even though the government has not decided on when to lift a more than month-long suspension of flights.
PhotoGoAir and SpiceJet Ltd have started accepting bookings for travel between all major sectors from 16 May. Others such as Vistara, AirAsia India and IndiGo have resumed booking tickets for flights from 1 June.
Airlines were also told to refund full fares to those who booked tickets during the first lockdown from 25 March to 14 April for travel between 25 March and 3 May but could not travel due to the lockdown.
PhotoIt is pertinent to mention here that the biggest hit due to the lockdown has been on the airlines. Most of the loss-making companies are currently running out of money.
