India’s move to cancel foreign flights will lead to cancellation of 700 flights a week
NEW DELHI/MUMBAI: As India closes itself for all international flights till end of March and starting early morning on Monday, the period will see cancellation of about 700 flights a week, including both foreign and Indian carriers. The impact will, however, be felt more by foreign airlines, as Indian carriers had already cancelled a large number of flights to international destinations.
The government on Thursday said no scheduled international commercial passenger aircraft will be allowed to land in India from March 22 for one week. The ban is only on commercial passenger aircraft and not on aeroplanes carrying freight.
