India coronavirus: Chaos at airports as domestic flights resume

GBNEWS24 DESK//

Long queues and chaos greeted passengers at Indian airports as flights resumed two months after they were halted to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

Local media said almost 100 flights were cancelled, but many more took off.

Maharashtra state, which has India’s highest number of Covid-19 cases, said it would only allow only 50 flights a day, leading to several cancellations.

Angry passengers say they were not informed ahead of time.

“Our flight was cancelled and there is no-one to answer us at the help desk. We don’t know what to do now,” a passenger in the southern city of Chennai told the ANI news agency.
