"The 'Air Bubble' arrangement between India and Qatar extended for July 2021. The flights have resumed under this arrangement", Indian Embassy in Qatar tweeted.  The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India has extended the ban on scheduled overseas passenger flights till 31 July 2021. However, this ban will not be applicable to dedicated cargo flights and flights operating under the bilateral air bubble pacts with selected nations. The restriction on scheduled overseas flights was earlier scheduled to end on 30 June after a 15-month gap. In March last year, India suspended international flights for the first time after the government imposed a countrywide lockdown during the first wave of the pandemic.
