However, international scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the regulator on a case-to-case basis.
Scheduled international passenger flights were suspended in India in March last year due to the Covid pandemic.
While domestic flights resumed in May 2020 and were gradually increased, international travel remained suspended with consecutive extension of the ban.
