Indian skies are finally fully opening up with the government on Friday announcing the resumption of scheduled international flights to all countries from December 15, almost 21 months after the suspension of services following Covid-19 pandemic.
Since July last year, international flights were allowed to operate under air bubble arrangements with 28 countries but no full-scale international operations were ongoing since March 23, 2020.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation said the decision to resume scheduled commercial international passenger services to and from India from December 15 has been taken after examining the issue with the ministries of Home, External Affairs and Health and Family Welfare.
