The suspension of scheduled international passenger flights caused by the coronavirus has been extended till September 30, according to the aviation authority DGCA.

"However, on a case-by-case basis, the relevant authorities may authorize international scheduled flights on certain routes," the Directorate General of Civil Aviation stated. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, scheduled international passenger services have been stopped in India since March 23, 2020. Special international flights, however, have been running since May 2020 under the Vande Bharat Mission and since July 2020 via bilateral "air bubble" agreements with chosen nations.

India has signed air bubble agreements with about 25 nations, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, Bhutan, and France. Special international flights can be performed by their airlines between their territory under an air bubble treaty between two nations. The ban does not impact international all-cargo operations or flights explicitly approved by the DGCA, according to the circular.
