  • Indigo and Air India-- on Wednesday Announced
    1 Revue de presse février 2020 The only two Indian carriers that fly to China -- IndiGo and Air India-- on Wednesday announced suspension of most of their flights to that country, while India has requested China for permission to operate two flights to bring back its nationals from Hubei province which has been sealed after the deadly coronavirus outbreak. A fresh travel advisory asking people to refrain from travelling to China has been issued by the Union government which has ramped up screening across airports, ports and borders, as the virus spread to at least 17 countries. No case of the novel coronavirus has been detected in India, though hundreds of people remain under observation in many states including as many as 806 in Kerala, according to officials. With several airlines based in Asia, North America and Europe restricting operations to the region, the Indian carriers too followed suit. The country's largest airline IndiGo said it has suspended its flights on Bengaluru-Hong Kong route from February 1 and on the Delhi-Chengdu route from February 1 to 20. Similarly, state-run Air India is suspending its flights on Delhi-Shanghai route from January 31 to February 14 and reducing the frequency on Delhi-Hong Kong route to thrice-weekly only in the same time period. IndiGo will, for now, continue to operate the Kolkata-Guangzhou flight which it is "monitoring on a daily basis". The crew of the two airlines working on flights connecting India with South East Asian countries have been asked to wear N95 masks on ground and take other precautions like not visiting public places.

Traffic had almost grown three times of the GDP. Burgeoning numbers opened up a vista of opportunities in the sector. In a bid to ease the strain on existing capacity, the government plans to operationalise 100 additional airports by 2023-24. The report of the Taskforce on National Infrastructure Pipeline FY2020-2025 has identified airport projects worth Rs 1.43 trillion, highlighting plenty of investment opportunities. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has slowed down activity in the sector. The complete suspension of travel adversely impacted the revenue streams of airports. Nonetheless, airport privatisation is one area which continued to gain steam even amidst the deepening impact of the pandemic. The first round of privatisation of Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Guwahati, Thiruvananthapuram and Mangaluru airports was completed. Under the government's stimulus package, six airports have been identified for the second round bidding for operation and maintenance on PPP basis.
