The suspension of scheduled international passenger flights has been extended till July 31, the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) said on Wednesday.

“International Scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the competent authority on a case by case basis,” the DGCA said in a circular.

The restriction doesn’t apply to international all-cargo operations.

International scheduled flights have been suspended since March 23, 2020. However, flights are permitted under the “air bubble” agreement India has entered into with 27 countries.
