New Delhi: Life has once again begun to shake after the complete lockdown caused by the Corona epidemic. Countries around the world are trying to get business and other activities back on track.
In India, meanwhile, efforts are underway to resume air services in addition to public life. Under this, domestic flights were resumed in the country on May 25.
India has also started preparations for resumption of international flights. Many countries, including Japan and Singapore, have in recent days banned foreign nationals from entering their countries due to the Corona outbreak. Now, as soon as these countries relax the entry rules for foreign nationals, India will decide to start international flights.
Disclosing this in a tweet, Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Puri said that as soon as the entry rules for foreign nationals from these countries are relaxed, the resumption of international flights will be announced.
Meanwhile, Air India has started booking for passengers travelling to many countries around the world, including the United States and Canada, under the Vande Bharat Mission from June 5. Under the government's Vande Bharat Mission, bookings will be made from June 5 and travel will be available between June 9 to June 30.
According to the aviation minister, the resumption of international flights may take some time. Most cities in the country are still in the red zone. As a result, people from outside the city cannot come to catch the flight.
In addition, they may have to stay in quarantine for 14 days after entering the country. Similarly, it may take time for domestic flights to reach the level of 50-60 per cent.
