The Director-General of Civil Aviation in India has extended the suspension of scheduled international flights till May 31. The earlier deadline for flight suspension was to end today.
"However, international scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the competent authority on a case to case basis," the DGCA said in a circular.
The restriction shall not apply to international all-cargo operations and flights specifically approved by the aviation regulator, it added.
Scheduled international passenger services have been suspended in India since March 23 last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. But special international flights have been operating under the Vande Bharat Mission since May last year, and under bilateral 'air bubble' arrangements with selected countries since July.
