The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) today, has declared the extension of the ban on scheduled international flights to and from the country till July 31. The timetable of international flight operations to and from India, except cargo/repatriation/relief services, has been under suspension since March 2020.

Sunil Kumar, the joint director general of the civil aviation regulator said, “In partial modification of the circular dated 26-06-2020, the competent authority has further extended the validity of the circular issued on the subject cited above regarding scheduled international commercial passenger services to/from India till 2359 hours IST of 31st July 2021. This restriction shall not apply to international all-cargo operations and flights specifically approved by the DGCA,” The official report stated that, “However, international scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the competent authority on a case-to-case basis,”

Previously, on May 28, the ban on international flights was extended till June 30. Flight services, both domestic and international, were initially closed in late March last year when the first lockdown was announced to curb the spread of cases of Covid-19. However, in May, carriers were allowed to resume services on domestic routes though the ban on international flights remained and continues to this day.

Even as the ban on international flights continues, Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced on Monday that when it is possible for international travellers to visit India, the first 5000,000 would be given visas free of cost. This was one of the eight schemes announced by Sitharaman to boost the Covid-19 hit economy, with special emphasis on health and tourism sectors.
