NEW DELHI: Ticket pricing restrictions, protective suits and goggles for flight attendants and no food served on board planes are among the rules proposed by India's civil aviation ministry on Thursday as it prepares to resume domestic flying within days.
The gradual opening up of air travel comes as the number of recorded cases of the novel coronavirus in India reached 112,359, the health ministry said, increasing by 5,609 from the previous day - one of the highest single-day rises in recent weeks. Deaths stood at 3,435. India's Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri told reporters the decision to regulate fares based on the flight's duration was to prevent ticket prices from spiking as there is pent-up demand.For instance, for a two-hour flight between the cities of Mumbai and Delhi airlines will be allowed to charge a minimum fare of 3,500 rupees and a maximum of 10,000 rupees , while ensuring that 40 per cent of the tickets sold are priced below the median value.
