Passenger flights between the UK and India would remain suspended till January 7 and will resume in a “strictly regulated” manner thereafter, aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Wednesday.
The directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) has also extended the suspension of all international flight operations in the country till January 31, 2021.
The civil aviation ministry had last week suspended all flights between the European country and India from December 23-31 as a mutated variant of the coronavirus was detected there.
The minister tweeted: “Decision has been taken to extend the temporary suspension of flights to and from the UK till January 7, 2021.
