30 weekly flights between India, UK to continue till January 30

NEW DELHI: Indian and British carriers will continue operating 30 weekly flights till January 30.
The government had earlier this year cleared partial resumption of flights to and from the UK from January 8 by allowing Indian carriers to operate 15 weekly flights and a similar permission was given to UK carriers, till January 23.
Based on how the situation of the new and more infectious strain of Coronavirus was, the frequency of these flights were to be reassessed.
“The frequency, 15 weekly by Indian and as many by British carriers, remains the same for now. The current approval is up to January 30,” said a senior official.
