With the 21-day lockdown in India, all transportation services have been suspended in the country. Apart from the emergency services and freight flights, all buses, trains, and air services are also completely stopped.

The aviation industry has been shut down completely. The pilots and staff have no clarity when to return to their duties, and most of them are in fear of losing their jobs.

Meanwhile, Indigo Pilot Pradeep Krishnan, along with other pilots has made a video to encourage confidence among the pilots in these dull times.

Pradeep Krishnan said the video was made to encourage excitement among other flight crews.

Along with video, Pradeep wrote on Instagram, "Our wings are clipped for now, But we were always meant to soar, So it's just a matter of time, Before we take flight again, To widen your horizons once more, Through howling winds and pouring rain, We'll take you back to memory lane. Our spirits you will never tame. WE WILL FLY AGAIN - Capt Amrita Ravindran @amritaravindran.

To you Mr. Corona, we Indians now declare, We’ll lay you to rest, we seek no fanfare, Enough is enough, away from the glare, We’ll rid the Planet of the COVID-19 nightmare. And we Pilots, my friends, will soon take to the air, Joyous music, from every grateful country, will blare. - Chandra R Menon EX Deputy Manager, Air India.

I would like to thank the lovely people that appeared on this video for they didn’t take more than a second to give their nods. How I wish this world had more such lovely people," Pradeep wrote.

According to the data, Indian airlines will lose about 5 crore passengers in fiscal year 2020-21. About 8 to 9 million passengers are expected to board these flights this fiscal year. As per 2019 count, nearly 14 crore passengers boarded the plane.

With Corona's proliferation, the number of passengers boarding international flights will also be greatly reduced. More than 3 crore passengers are expected to fly on international flights in fiscal year 2020.

It will take years for airlines to recover from the damage caused by the coronavirus. The decrease in passenger numbers is also likely to hurt the businesses of many companies.rn
