India has extended the suspension of scheduled international passenger flights till September 30.

India’s aviation regulator DGCA says the suspension of scheduled international passenger flights has been extended till September 30

“However, international scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the competent authority on a case-to-case basis,” the Directorate General of Civil Aviation added.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, scheduled passenger flights had been suspended in India on March 23, 2020. The ban was to end on August 31 after a 17-month gap. However, the DGCA decided to extend the ban.

India has air-bubble pacts with more than 28 countries, including the US, the UK, the UAE, Kenya, Bhutan, and France.
