Traveling in the 21st century has been nothing but commonplace. Air travel has been more accessible, more affordable with too many airlines popping here and there. So it was rather devastating for these companies and for travelers to learn about how the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has put a (long) momentary pause on this leisure. For months, people who earned a living by flying found themselves stuck in the house for over a month; airline personnel, businessmen, and vloggers among many, counted the days until they can pack a suitcase or backpack again.
Recently, in India, domestic flights have started to operate with 367 flights on May 28 based on an article by indiaexpress.com. The country is one of the two Asian countries (along with Turkey) in the Top 10 with the most number of cases (see dashboard).
Whether or not the operation of domestic flight will see a surge of the number despite the recoveries, is yet to be seen. In the meantime, the rest of the world is holding on to their passports so that one day they will be able to ride the clouds again without fear of getting sick.
