International flights to India will be closed till May 31

India has extended its ban on international flights until May 31 in the face of deadly coronavirus infection. However, the flights that were earlier allowed to operate by creating an international bubble through the ‘Bande Bharat Mission’ are continuing.

However, the Civil Aviation Authority of India (DGCA) has said that these special flights will continue unless other countries are involved in the bubble object.

The DGCA has banned international flights in India since the start of the lockdown last year. In a statement on Friday, they said that the ban had been extended to 11:59 pm local time on May 31.

However, this restriction will not apply to cargo or cargo aircraft. International flights with special DGCA approval will also be exempt from the ban. In addition, some flights may be allowed in case of emergency.

International flights have been regulated in India for about 14 months. International flights have been closed there since March 23, 2020. The DGCA said the ban was extended because the situation in the country was not normal.
