Scheduled international flights will not commence from December 15

Scheduled international flights will not commence from December 15 because of fears over the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. The clampdown by the Indian government comes less than a week after the announcement of the resumption of international flights from the middle of this month.

“In view of the evolving global scenario with the emergence of new variants of concern, the situation is being watched closely in consultation with all stakeholders and an appropriate decision indicating the effective date of resumption of scheduled commercial international passenger services will be notified in due course,” the Directorate General of Civil Aviation said.
