The aviation regulator DGCA on Monday urged airlines to try and keep the middle seats vacant. In case, it added, it cannot be done, the passengers should be provided with a “wrap around”.
Social distancing is a big part in the battle against coronavirus.
“Attempts should be made to keep the middle seat empty to the extent possible… If the middle seat is occupied due to high load, the flyer should be provided with a ‘wrap around’,” said the DGCA.
India resumed domestic flight operations from May 25, kickstarting a gradual reboot of air travel that was halted two months ago on account of a lockdown imposed to stop the spread of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
