India on Friday extended the ban on scheduled international passenger flights, announced since the Covid-19 outbreak last year, by another month till May 31.
However, the bilateral air bubble flights will continue to function to and from the territories of 27 countries with whom such arrangements have been agreed upon.
India had suspended scheduled international passenger services since March 23 last year due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
“However, international scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the competent authority on a case-to-case basis,” the Directorate General of Civil Aviation said.
Special international flights have been operating under the Vande Bharat Mission since May and under bilateral “air bubble” arrangements with selected countries since July.
