The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Wednesday said that international travel has been permitted in a limited manner under the government’s ‘Vande Bharat Mission’ (VBM) repatriation mission. Further opening-up will take place in a calibrated manner, said MHA as it issued the guidelines for further relaxations of various economic activities under 'Unlock 3'.
On July 16, the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) announced setting up 'air bubbles' and partially resumed international flights to destinations in the US, Germany, France. An air bubble is a travel corridor between two countries who will fly their aircraft in a regulated environment. This arrangement has been made due to several travel restrictions across the world because of coronavirus pandemic.
Between July 22- August 31, Air India will be operating 30 flights a week to the US (New York, Chicago, Washington, New Jersey, and San Francisco), 4 flights a week to Germany (Frankfurt) and 3 flights a week to France (Paris)”, said the Ministry of External Affairs earlier.
Air India, United Airlines, Air France and Lufthansa will be operating hundreds of international flights between destinations in India and the US, France and Germany from July 22 to August 31. Similar air corridors are also being established with Canada, the UK, other European, and Gulf countries.
