Aviation Regulator DGCA Extends Ban On International Flights
DGCA said international flights might be allowed on selected routes on a case to case basis.
New Delhi: Aviation regulator DGCA has once again decided to extend the ban on scheduled international commercial flights amid the ongoing Covid-19 scenario. The extended ban will remain in place till October 31, 2021. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation, in a notification issued on Tuesday, said, “This restriction will not apply to international all-cargo operations and flights specifically approved by the regulator.”
It added that scheduled international flights might be allowed on selected routes on a case to case basis.
The Centre banned international flights on March 23, last year, to contain the Covid spread. Later, flight restrictions were eased under air bubble arrangement with certain countries. Over the last one year, India has been operating Vande Bharat flights to many countries. It has formed air bubble pacts with nearly 25 countries.
