By and large, March is a lean travel month with individuals starting to move around in the pinnacle occasion summer April-June quarter.

Sanjay Kumar, a veteran of Indian flying who till as of late was IndiGo's main methodology and income official, said: " Life is getting back to normal as of early 2020. Vacation, work, family visits, and MICE (meeting, incentive, conference, and exhibition) travel are all back.
