India resumed its scheduled international flights on Sunday 27th March. Earlier it was scheduled for March 15 but got delayed. The aviation ministry got the approval of the health ministry to resume the regular international flights for tourists and it follows all the guidelines of the Health Ministry for International travel. Indians and International tourists will now be able to plan an awesome international trip.
Due to the deadly pandemic of Covid 19, the health ministry didn’t approve international flights to operate completely and it was canceled in March 2020. So, it was mandatory to get the approval. In November 2021, there were plans to resume international flights but again due to the rise in Omicron cases the order was rescinded.

“Resuming international flights makes sense because several countries across the globe are opening up international flights. This would ensure that flights from India will be accepted by these countries too or one would have to wait for the other country to launch flights,” according to an airline executive who chose to remain anonymous.”
