MUMBAI: India on Tuesday extended the ban on international passenger flights until October 31, 2021. However, the ban is not applicable to cargo flights and those approved by the regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
All scheduled international flights to and from India were banned from March 2020 following the Covid-19 pandemic.
India has formed air bubble pacts with around 25 countries, including Oman, and UAE. Special international flights can be operated by their airlines following an air bubble pact between two countries, irrespective of the travel ban.
