Corona virus epidemic, which is going to end on 14 April. Although the government had overruled the fears of further extension of the lockdown, but Air India’s Friday statement looks like it will be pushed further. Government airlines said on Friday that bookings on all domestic and international routes have been closed from today to April 30. We are awaiting a decision for bookings after April 14. It is clear from this statement of the airlines that the lockdown is expected to be carried forward.
