Restrictions on international flights

India will allow people abroad to fly in on a country-to-country basis, depending on the coronavirus situation in the places they are flying in from, once passengers flights resume. Unless the 21-day lockdown is extended, schedule commercial air travel is supposed to resume on April 14-15. "Even before international flights were suspended on March 22, there were restrictions on people coming to India (similar to those adopted by many other countries) depending on the corona situation there. Once the lockdown is lifted, the health ministry will decide which countries are safe enough to allow people to fly from there to India,” aviation secretary P S Kharola said. “The current lockdown on both domestic & international passenger flights is till April 15. A decision to restart the flights after this period remains to be taken. If required, we will have to assess the situation on a case-by-case basis,” tweeted aviation minister H S Puri.
