Except those visiting Saudi Arabia on the government's invitation, no other person who visited India, Brazil and Argentina in the past 14 days will be allowed to enter the country

India has six major domestic carriers, IndiGo, SpiceJet, GoAir, AirAsia India, Air India and Vistara, which owed to the AAI a total of Rs 2562.04 crore as on August 1 and this was around 10 per cent more than on February 1

While IndiGo carried 16.82 lakh passengers, a 59.4 per cent share of the total domestic market, SpiceJet flew 3.91 lakh passengers, which is 13.8 per cent share of the total market, the DGCA data noted

Even as SpiceJet is struggling in the passenger segment, it claims to have emerged as the largest air cargo airline in the country, ahead of carriers like IndiGo and Air India who have bigger fleets

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Sunday clarified that passengers can take photos and videos inside flights

In case of any violation of in-fight rules on a passenger aircraft, the scheduled flight will be restored only after the airline takes all the necessary punitive action against those responsible for the violation, says DGCA

The last date for submitting initial bids for Air India has been extended to October 30, fourth since the request for qualification (RFQ) was issued in January

Experts say that the idea of having a capacity cap doesn't make sense unless the government wants to protect the smaller players like SpiceJet and GoAir who have been badly affected by the pandemic

Currently, the country's largest airline in terms of market share is operating around 600 flights per day, which is around 42 per cent of its pre-COVID-19 domestic schedule of around 1,420 services

Since July, India has formed separate bilateral air bubble pacts with countries like the US, the UK, the UAE, Qatar and the Maldives

The full-service carrier is scheduled to operate special thrice-weekly flights from August 28 to October 24 between the two cities, it said in a statement

IndiGo's market share has grown even as all other major carriers have reported loss in market share

Apart from charter flights under the mission, airlines can also operate special international flights under separate bilateral air bubble arrangements that India has signed with various countries like the US, the UK, Germany and France

The airline said 23,500 employees have accepted buyouts, retired early or taken long-term leaves of absence, but that was not enough to avoid involuntary cuts

IndiGo has already operated passenger charter flights and cargo charter flights to countries like Russia,  Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine

Budget carrier SpiceJet will be operating scheduled flights between Dubai and 5 Indian cities - Delhi, Jaipur, Kozhikode, Madurai and Mumbai, from tomorrow to 31st August 2020

The Delhi International Airport Ltd said scheduled flights will operate as normal

The coronavirus-enforced lockdown in late March had led to the suspension of domestic as well as international flights and services were partially restored only in May-end

The DGCA data mentioned that AirAsia India had the best on-time performance at four metro airports - Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai - at 98.1 per cent in July

The travel industry experts have been talking about the concept of \"revenge tourism\" for quite some time which is essentially the urge of tourists to make short visits to nearby destinations - places where one can reach in three-five hours
