All airports & air carriers are being informed to be ready for operations from 25th May.
SOPs for passenger movement are also being separately issued by @MoCA_GoI.
A standard operating procedure for passenger movement will be issued by the Civil Aviation Ministry in the near future. All commercial civil aviation activity was halted in India from 25 March in light of the Covid-19 lockdown.
As per draft SOP guidelines which were earlier reported by the media, no cabin luggage will be allowed on board the flights and passengers will only be allowed to carry one check-in baggage up to 20 kg.
The flyers would also have to do compulsory web check-in before arriving at the airport and temperature checks will be conducted for all passengers.
Indian Railways has already partially started its operations by running special and shramik trains. It will additionally start operating 200 additional passenger trains from 1 June.
