Tagging all the four airlines, Delhi airport said the "Indian skies will be coloured with you soon but for now, thanks for giving us a reason to smile!"
"Together in the skies, and together on ground too!," the airport said.
Commercial flights are suspended till April 14 amid the 21-day nationwide lockdown to curb spreading of coronavirus infections.
Continuing the bonhomie online, Vistara said, "right now we are in a long distance relationship right IndiGo6E?", while GoAir said it is all about social distancing on ground but not at heart.
