The suspension of the scheduled international passenger flights due to the Coronavirus has been extended till October 31 as per India’s aviation regulator DGCA.
According to the reports, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation stated that international scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the competent authority on a case-to-case basis. The suspension does not affect the operation of international all-cargo operations and flights specifically approved by it.
Scheduled international passenger services have been suspended in India since March 23, 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. But special international flights have been operating under the Vande Bharat Mission since May 2020 and under bilateral “air bubble” arrangements with selected countries since July 2020. India has formed air bubble pacts with approximately 28 countries, including the US, the UK, the UAE, Kenya, Bhutan and France. Under an air bubble pact between two countries, special international flights can be operated by their airlines between their territories.
