German airline group Lufthansa has sought permission to resume flight services in India amid growing cases of Corona virus. According to news agency PTI, the Lufthansa Group has offered to fly empty planes in India and to fly passengers only to destinations in Europe. This means that the empty airline of the airline will come to India and from here only flights to Europe will take passengers to the destination.

A senior official said, "Lufthansa Group (which operates airline brands like Lufthansa, SWISS, etc.) has made such an offer to the Indian government. The matter has not been decided yet." Let us tell you that international flight services are closed from 23 March and at the same time, domestic flights have been started from May 25. However, keeping in mind the corona virus, some necessary conditions have also been implemented for these flight services.

Due to this many stranded immigrants (NRIs) in India are demanding to restore international flight services. Since May 7, the Government of India is bringing back stranded Indians abroad under the Vande Bharat Mission, these missions are being accomplished through flights operated by Air India Group. The Air India group is also taking bookings on its outbound flights (going to another country), however, demand is high for some destinations.

This permission has been sought by Lufthansa Group at a time when the number of Corona patients in India is breaking their old records every day. Especially in the two big metros of the country, Delhi and Mumbai, the situation is starting to become uncontrollable. The important thing is that most of the international flight services of the country operate from the airports of these two cities.
