(New Delhi) DGCA Directs Airlines to Stop Taking Bookings
Private Indian airlines were taking bookings on Sunday on select flights from May 4.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued a circular on Sunday evening, stating: “All airlines are hereby directed to refrain from booking tickets… Further, the airlines may note that they shall be given sufficient notice and time for restarting operations.”
The first phase of the lockdown was from March 25 to April 14. The second phase began on April 15 and would end on May 3.
