Amid rising novel coronavirus cases in the country, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) today stated that suspension on scheduled international commercial passenger services to and from India has been extended till October 31.
The announcement came moments after the Ministry of Home Affairs released a fresh set of guidelines under the Unlock 5 plan in which it mentioned that international air travel of passengers will not be permitted in the current phase of Unlock, except as permitted by MHA.
However, to allow gradual movement of passenger traffic, ‘Transport Bubble’ agreements have been signed with a number of countries.
