The decision to bring down the cap from 80 to 50 percent on May 28 was taken in view of the "sudden rise in the number of active coronavirus cases across the country, reduction in passenger traffic and passenger load factors", the ministry said.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Airports Authority of India had imposed a cap on the capacity utilization of domestic airlines to promote the financially weak airlines after the covid-19 pandemic brought air travel to a halt.
