The recent meeting is subsequent to the meeting that TAAI President had with Mr. Puri on August 13, 2020 along with Minister of Tourism, Shri Prahlad Singh Patel.
The air bubbles permits point to point services between only a few countries which have signed the
agreement with India. President – TAAI, Mrs. Jyoti Mayal stated “We have appealed to permit and open the criteria for airlines to carry passengers to various other countries beyond their hubs to the under
served markets. This is because in a lot of markets where there are fewer requirements for VBM or Air Bubbles are not created, these carriers shall be able to carry passengers as per specified norms to and from India and the transiting country.”
Since air bubble flights too are not meeting adequate capacity, this shall open up the capacity and give opportunity to member travel agents, airlines and travellers to commence their activities. This shall not only enhance the economy but also provide a ground to cater to non-connected sectors from India. This shall enable commencement of business and act as a revival catalyst for member travel agents in India but also restart economic activity between other countries with India.
Safety and health norms are being followed by Airlines / Travellers / Travel Agents as per protocols
and advisories issued by Governments. This is the right time to permit commencement of scheduled operations as global skies open up.
