The scheduled international passenger flight ban has been in place in India since March 23, 2020 to contain and control the spread of Covid-19.
On November 26, 2021, the DGCA had announced that India would resume scheduled international passenger flights from December 15, 2021 with certain conditions.
However, on December 1, 2021, DGCA revoked its decision saying it is “closely monitoring” the situation emerging out of the Covid-19’s Omicron variant and the final decision on the resumption of normal international flights will be taken after consultation with stakeholders.
