Domestic, international flights to remain suspended till May 3

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday announced the extension of the nationwide lockdown till May 3, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has said that all domestic and international flights will remain suspended during the period.

“All domestic and international scheduled airlines operations shall remain suspended till 11:59 p.m. of May 3,” the aviation regulator said in a tweet.

The DGCA had earlier stopped operations of passenger flights on all domestic routes from March 25 to March 31 and then extended it to April 14.

Union Minister for Civil Aviation, Hardeep Singh Puri tweeted that there were good reasons for the extension of the lockdown till May 3 and the government may consider lifting restrictions on both domestic and international flight thereafter.
