Similarly, on a YoY basis, the company's revenue from operations declined by 25 per cent to Rs 6,222.9 crore in the last quarter.

"This has been a very difficult year with our revenues slumping hard due to Covid, showing some signs of recovery during the period December to February and then slumping again with the second wave of the Covid.
While we have seen a sharp decline in revenues in March through May, we are encouraged by the modest revenue improvements starting last week of May and continuing through June," said company's CEO Ronojoy Dutta.
"While we have produced disappointing financial results this year, we have also positioned ourselves to be the best-in-class airline when the inevitable recovery finally arrives."
