Int’l passenger flights suspended till Sept 30
The ongoing suspension of scheduled international passenger flights has been extended till September 30. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Monday announced its decision to extend the suspension of international flight operations. This ban will not apply to international all-cargo and international scheduled flights approved by the DGCA.
The circular, dated August 31, stated that travel and visa restrictions have been further extended. But the DGCA stated that it may allow international scheduled flights on selected routes on case-to case-basis.
DGCA had first issued a circular suspending both international and domestic flights on March 26 when the nationwide lockdown was announced in order to curtail the spread of coronavirus pandemic.
