India had suspended all domestic and international flights from March 23 within the wake of Covid-19.

Last month, the Centre amended the rules on lockdown measures to fight the pandemic, so as to facilitate domestic air travel for stranded persons in India.

The government also started a limited number of domestic flights from May 25.
