India to resume scheduled international flights from 27 March

"After having recognised the increased vaccination coverage across the globe and in consultation with the stakeholders, the government of India has decided to resume scheduled commercial international passenger services to and from India from 27 March 2022, i.e., the start of summer 2022," read the order.

It also added that the air bubble arrangements between countries will be extended only up to 11:59 p.m of 26 March. Air bubble arrangements are temporary arrangements between countries aimed at restarting commercial passenger services when regular international flights are suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aviation ministry also informed that the international operations will be subject to the guidelines issued by the ministry of health and family welfare issued on 10 February 2022 and as amended from time to time.
