As the number of coronavirus cases in India crossed 62 lakh, the Indian aviation regulator DGCA on Wednesday announced the suspension of scheduled international passenger flights which has been extended till October 31. .
"However, international scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the competent authority on a case-to-case basis," the Directorate General of Civil Aviation added.
Since March 23 scheduled international passenger services have been suspended in India due to the coronavirus-induced-lockdown. However, special international flights have been operating under the Vande Bharat Mission since May and also under bilateral "air bubble" arrangements with a few selected countries since July.
India recently formed air bubble pacts with as many as 15 countries - the US, the UK, the UAE, Kenya, Bhutan and France. Under the pact, special international flights can be operatational by their airlines between their territories.
