The Indian government has decided to extend the existing restrictions on limited domestic flight operations and caps on air fares till November 24.
A senior official at the civil aviation ministry said they would be extending their capacity of flight operations, reports UNB citing Xinhua.
Currently, domestic flight operations are allowed to function at 45% of their total capacity.
Last month, the ministry had cleared an increase in capacity of flight operations to 45% from 33%.
On May 21, it capped domestic flights to a third of their approved summer schedule.
The country's aviation regulator Director General of Civil Aviation had in May imposed fare limits for different bands. Domestic flights of less than 40-minute duration are supposed to have lower and upper limits of around $28 and around $85.
Flights of 150-180 minutes have around $78 and around $224 as the lower and upper limits, respectively.
According to the ministry's directive, the airlines in the country should adhere to these upper and lower fares limits during the Covid-19 pandemic period.
