At a webinar organised by Industry body, FICCI, Civil Aviation Secretary Pradeep Singh Kharola said that he expects India’s domestic civil aviation to bounce back to normalcy within 2-3 months from now. He also added that the sector has been through worse times due to the pandemic, yet it was resilient with all that the economy was going through. “Civil Aviation is one of the sectors which has come out of this pandemic.. not exactly completely but in next two to three months, expecting normalcy to bounce back within the domestic market,” Kharola said.
