The ban on all scheduled international commercial passenger service has been extended till July 15, the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said while hinting that there could be a graded resumption of international services .

Late at night, the government announced domestic carriers can operate flights up to 45 per cent of pre-Covid capacity against 30 per cent now.

All scheduled international commercial air passenger services, except for the repatriation flights, will remain suspended July 15, the DGCA said in a circular on Friday.

“However, international scheduled flights may also be allowed on selected routes by the competent authority on a case to case basis,” it added.
