In April, domestic gasoline sales were 23 lower on the year at 664K b/d while exports doubled over the same period to 45K b/d, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Domestic sales of gasoline and diesel recovered from 75 of year-earlier levels in May to 90 of year-earlier levels during June 1-18 and from 89 of year-earlier levels in May to 95 of year-earlier levels during June 1-18, respectively.

On the other hand, multiple domestic airlines plan to resume flights starting on July 1.
