Regular international flights resumed on Sunday after a coronavirus pandemic-induced hiatus of approximately two years.
India banned scheduled international flights on March 23, 2020. During the last two years, limited international passenger flights were operating between India and select countries under bilateral air bubble arrangements. On March 8, the civil aviation ministry announced that regular overseas flights would resume from March 27 amid a decline in coronavirus cases. It also relaxed various Covid-19 guidelines.
The Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in the national capital, the country’s largest airport, expects international flight departures to witness a significant jump from the first week of April.
