International Flights: India Extends Suspension of Regular Passenger Flight Services Till Feb 28

Taking preventive measures despite declining cases of coronavirus, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Thursday extended the suspension of scheduled international passenger flights till February 28. However, the DGCA allowed certain passenger flights on selected routes by the competent authority on a case-to-case basis. 

Issuing a notification, the DGCA said that the suspension of flights does not affect the operation of international all-cargo operations and flights specifically approved by it.

“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. 

The development comes at a time when the scheduled international passenger services have been suspended in India since March 23 due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, special international flights have been operating under the Vande Bharat Mission since May and under bilateral “air bubble” arrangements with selected countries since July.
