Flights to London were scheduled from Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Amritsar, Kolkata, Kochi & Goa. While the flights operated till December, second wave forced India to halt its flight services to the UK, and later, UK halted services to India given the rising COVID-19 cases in the country.
