Cruising Heights' June-July issue looks at the present state of aviation - that has been hit the hardest in the Covid pandemic and is going through possibly its most dicult times - in the country. The situation has been termed unprecedented but little has happened on the ground to nd an eective way out. A few airlines received government bailouts, while others raised cash.

Boeing will not be producing the iconic aircraft that made its debut in 1969 - and marked its 50th anniversary in February 2019 -- any more. It created dreams and enthused everyone to y. Plus: A survey done by Vistara points to hope in the Indian aviation sector in the next six months.
