New Delhi, May 16, 2021: As the second wave continues to spread, Indian airlines have sharply cut their seat capacities. The move comes as domestic flights see fewer passengers and India remains banned by countries globally. According to an OAG report, India has slashed the number of monthly seats on sale according to the reports published in aviationindia.net.
For May 2021, airlines in South Asia have cut capacity by a massive 15.1%, or 2.4 million seats. This drop has been due to reduced domestic demand and international traffic all but gone due to travel bans.
