The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) international passenger flights to and from India will remain suspended till April 14, in tandem with the countrywide lockdown. “It has been decided that all scheduled commercial passenger services shall remain closed till 1830 hours GMT of April 14, 2020,” the civil aviation regulator said.
The restriction will not apply to international cargo operations and flights that have been approved by the DGCA. On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a lockdown in the entire country for three weeks, limiting public movement through roads, railways and air transport. The restrictions were put in place to limit the spread of the highly-contagious Covid-19.
