About 35 percent of the respondents are considering travel overseas in the next few months and the remaining are looking to unwind at popular local destinations. Airlines in India expect domestic traffic to recover to pre-pandemic levels from May ­ compared with the 85 percent mark hit so far ­ if another wave of Covid-19 infections does not hit the country.
