Delhi-Patna, Delhi-Srinagar and Delhi-Imphal.

Delhi-Mumbai, the busiest route in the country, was only the fifth most-sought after, initial trends on EaseMyTrip.com, the online travel agency, showed. Bengaluru-Delhi was the fourth.
Mumbai and Delhi are also among the worst-hit cities. India’s financial capital now has 25, 317 confirmed cases of coronavirus while the national capital has reported at least 11, 659 infections.
As the country hunkered down from March 25 to curb the rampaging virus, flights, too, were suspended. The fourth phase of the lockdown ends on May 31 but the government has decided to reopen the skies from May 25.
Traffic is the heaviest for Delhi. The Indian capital is the destination or origin of eight of the 10 busiest routes. Also, traffic between metros is as heavy but is heavier between metros and non-metros.
