The Directorate General of Civil Aviation announced that the scheduled international commercial passenger services to and from the country will remain suspended till July 15, with the big surge in number of coronavirus cases in India.

The restriction will not apply to international all-cargo operations and flights specifically approved by the DGCA. International Scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the competent authorities on case to case basis.

International commercial flights have been suspended ever since the lockdown was first imposed in the last week of March in a bid to prevent the spread of coronavirus in the country.

Notably, several international flights have been arranged for the repatriation of stranded Indian nationals in different countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the Central government’s Vande Bharat Mission.
