Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday decided to postpone the resumption of scheduled international flights to or from India from December 15, citing “evolving global scenario” in the wake of the emergence of new Covid varient ‘omicron’. In a meeting late last month, the central government had announced that commercial international flights shall resume from December 15.
“In view of the evolving global scenario with the emergence of new variants of concern, the situation is being watched closely in consultation with all stakeholders, and an appropriate decision indicating the effective date of resumption of scheduled commercial international passenger services shall be notified in due course,” read the circular issued by the DGCA.
Scheduled international flights to and from India remain suspended since March 2020 following the coronavirus pandemic.
