As per the agreement, 6,000 seats are allowed on either side and only national carriers (Oman Air, SalamAir, Air India, and Air India Express) are allowed to operate.
India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday modified its order to extend the suspension on international flights till January 31.
The DGCA said that the ban applies to scheduled international flights – international cargo operations and DGCA-approved international flights will still be allowed to fly.
Despite the ban, many international flights have taken place under the Vande Bharat Mission to repatriate Indians stuck worldwide. India has also established several air travel bubbles with countries including the UK, USA, and Japan. While these travel bubbles will remain in place, general international flights will no longer resume at the start of 2021.
