The suspension of inbound flights from the UK due to the emergence of a new, highly infectious COVID-19 strain in the island nation is likely to have a minimal impact on tourist traffic in India, share industry sources.
India had to temporarily suspend flights between India and UK until December 31 due to emergence of a new strain of Coronavirus.
"We are currently seeing a minimal impact on tourist traffic since most traffic was seen on India bound flights due to festive season and New year celebrations. We anyway have not been noticing much traffic due to air bubble arrangement and also due to covid scare across the globe," shared, Nishant Pitti from Ease my trip.
DGCA in a circular said, "In view of the emerging covid-19 situation in the UK, the competent authority has temporarily suspended flight to/from the UK with effect from 11.59 pm of December 22, 2020. Therefore, no flights from the UK will land in India after 11:59 pm on December 22, 2020. Airlines shall enforce this at the port of initial departure. Consequently, flights from India to the UK shall also remain suspended."
