New Delhi: India has extended the suspension of scheduled international passenger flights “till further orders”, aviation regulator DGCA said on Monday, news agency PTI reported.
On January 19, the suspension was extended till February 28.
Following the outbreak of the coronavirus, scheduled international passenger flights were suspended in India on March 23, 2020. However, special passenger flights have been operating between India and around 45 countries since July 2020 under air bubble arrangements formed with them.
In a circular on Monday, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) stated: “The competent authority has decided to extend the suspension of scheduled international commercial passenger services to/from India till further orders.” This restriction will not apply to international all-cargo operations and flights specifically approved by the DGCA, it mentioned.
Fights under air bubble arrangement will not be affected, the circular said.
