Both business and leisure travel are now starting to pick up.</p>

“Flights are going full and we have almost reached the pre-Covid levels. The number of flights has also increased, signalling that things are returning to normal,” the executive said.</p>

As Covid 19 cases continue to drop, air passenger traffic is picking up. A senior executive engaged with a private airline said that the industry, which was one of the worst hit sectors, is gradually opening up and as demand rises, hiring is opening up.</p>
