Starting 25 May, Indian airlines will begin flying domestic routes again - some two months after the country suspended all air travel.
The government is set to release guidelines on social distancing at airports and during travel.
Civil aviation minister, Hardeep Puri, has said that leaving the middle seat vacant was not "viable" as it would increase prices, and "you'll still have a situation where prescribed distance... isn't followed".
India's lockdown is slated to end on 31 May, but the country has already begun easing restrictions in areas that have not been identified as hotspots.
Cases continue to spike - India registered its biggest single-day surge on Wednesday, with more than 5,000 new cases.
The national tally of confirmed cases has now crossed 106,000, but the recovery is nearly 40%. And the death toll - at 3,303 - is, relative to some countries, low.
