  • 30/07/2021

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has said that scheduled international commercial passenger services to/from India shall remain suspended till August 31. "This restriction shall not apply to international all-cargo operations and flights specifically approved by DGCA," it added. 

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. They will continue to be in service, according to the latest developments.
India has formed air bubble pacts with 27 countries, including the US, the UK, the UAE, Kenya, Bhutan and France. Under an air bubble pact between two countries, special international flights can be operated by their airlines between their territories.
