Scheduled international flights - except repatriation services and flights carrying essential goods - were suspended in March last year, amid the Covid lockdown
India will resume scheduled international flights from December 15, the Civil Aviation Ministry said Friday evening, in a report by news agency PTI.
"The matter of resumption of scheduled commercial international passenger services, to and from India, has been examined in consultation with the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Health, and it has been decided... may be resumed from December 15," PTI quoted an order from the Aviation Ministry.
Scheduled international flights - except repatriation services and flights carrying essential goods - were suspended in March last year, as the country went into a Covid lockdown.
Restrictions were eased gradually - as the caseload dropped and vaccination coverage increased, with 'air bubble' arrangements with other countries. India currently has 28 such deals.
