New Delhi: The Central government on Friday extended the limits on domestic airfares till November 24.

“As per the prevailing situation of COVID-19, the Central government…directs that the order shall remain in force till November 24, or until further orders,” the Aviation Ministry said in a release.

The ministry had on May 21 placed these limits through seven bands, classified on the basis of flight duration, till August 24.

Along with the limits on airfares, the government had asked the airlines not to operate more than 33 per cent of their pre-COVID domestic flights. On June 26, the cap was increased to 45 per cent.

In another order, the Ministry said the 45 per cent cap would be in place till November 24 or “until further orders”.

Domestic passenger services resumed in the country on May 25 after nearly two months of suspension due to COVID-19 pandemic. But international passenger flights continue to remain suspended since March 23.
