‘Decision on resuming international flights shortly, possible by year-end’

NEW DELHI: India will soon decide on resuming scheduled international flights, that remain suspended since last March.
While there are chances the same may happen before end of this year, the worsening Covid situation in Europe has forced the Centre to rethink on the issue.
“I am working on the issue of resumption of scheduled international flights with other Union ministries like home and health. There is no definite decision as of now due to the resurgence of Covid in some countries. The inter-ministerial discussions on the issue will hopefully arrive at a decision shortly,” Union aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia told TOI on Wednesday.
