MUSCAT: India may resume scheduled international flights to and from the country from December 15, the Civil Aviation Ministry said on Friday.
Following coronavirus pandemic, scheduled international flight operations have been suspended in India since March 23 last year. However, special passenger flights have been operating since May last year under the air bubble arrangements with around 28 countries.
On Friday, the Civil Aviation Ministry wrote a letter to aviation regulator DGCA asking it to take “further necessary action” for the resumption of scheduled international flights.
