After the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, India, in March 2020, had canceled international flight operations. But the flights were resumed later to bring back Indians from foreign countries, followed by bubble flight arrangements with some selected countries.
After a long interval, many Indians may soon get to plan their summer vacations to foreign countries as regular international flights are set to renew soon. The aviation ministry earlier decided to resume International flights starting 15 December 2021, but due to the sudden rise in Omicron cases dropped the plan.
Indians can book their flight tickets from India to USA this summer with Tripbeam, as the interval target is set on the resumption of international flight services when domestic capacity touches 80% of pre-covid flights.
Before the pandemic in 2020, domestic airlines operated more than 2800 flights. On Sunday, 13 February 2022, they operated 2058 flights and the number has to go over 2200 to reach 80% of the pre-Covid level.
When the first wave of pandemics started sweeping across the world, India had canceled international flights in March 2020. But also opened them later to bring back Indians from foreign countries, followed by the bubble flight arrangements with a very few selected countries where airlines were allowed to carry passengers only to their home bases.
Aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said that the resumption of flights will only happen after domestic services reach a certain level. He also added that once the domestic traffic will rise, after that they will work on ensuring that international flights will also receive the same momentum by keeping health concerns foremost in mind.
As the third wave of the Covid pandemic abates, last week India had announced to drop the requirements of negative Covid-19 test reports and compulsory quarantine for fully vaccinated travelers arriving from selected 82 countries. This move was welcomed by all the industry and is being seen as the start by India to open it up to the world.
International Air Transport Association (IATA) also stated that India should now move forward and normalize the international air services.
