Quote from Thomas Cook India and SOTC | Government of India announcing 100% capacity for flights

Rajeev Kale, President & Country Head- Holidays, MICE, Visa, Thomas Cook India

"We are delighted and truly welcome the Government’s announcement permitting domestic carriers to operate at 100 percent of their pre-Covid capacity from October 18, 2021. With the return of consumer confidence in air travel coupled with a surge in holiday demand for the Festive Season (across Dussehra-Diwali and then Christmas-Year end), the announcement could not have come at a better time.

Additionally, the increased capacity will ease pressures on the supply side - with cascading impact on air fares. From a Corporate MICE a perspective too, the increased capacity offers significant scope for domestic incentive groups serving to catalyse overall recovery for the  travel and tourism industry."
