Why Canada again extended ban on direct flights from India | Explained

At a time when several European countries, including the United Kingdom, France, have relaxed travel restrictions on India because India’s Covid-19 situation is improving, Canada again extended the ban of direct flight from India. The decision will be reviewed on or before September 21. This extension will impact students as they will now have to travel to a third country to reach Canada.

5th extension in 4 months

This is the 5th extension of the ban on direct Indian flights since April. The ban was imposed in April because of the second wave of the pandemic and was later extended.
