Diwali 2020: Festival of Lights brings a surge in flight bookings

Flight bookings have surged in the days leading to Diwali, as customers travel to be with friends and relatives during the festival of lights. While bookings have increased by 15 per cent week-on-week, more than half of the tickets booked are for travel within two weeks of the Diwali.

The increase in air travel will sit well with airlines, who have made a slow recovery amid COVID-19, after resuming operations in May.
