Even in trying times, India’s private airlines take part in coronavirus relief
India’s airlines are putting their aircraft, grounded due to the Covid-19 pandemic, to good use. Yesterday (April 7), SpiceJet operated the country’s first “cargo-on-seat” flight carrying vital health care and medical supplies. It deployed a Boeing 737 NG passenger aircraft on the Delhi-Chennai-Surat-Chennai-Mumbai-Delhi route on behalf of various state governments and pharma firms.
