Resumption of International flights depends on other countries: HS Puri

In a press conference on June 20, Union Civil Aviation Minister, Hardeep Singh Puri said that exact time of resumption of international flights depends on the other countries.

He said, "Any suggestion that international traffic has opened up and we are the only one not to open up needs reality check.

The exact time when we will resume international flight depends on the other countries to be open to receive flights.

In absence of a decision on resumption of international civil aviation which will depend on other countries opening up, we are left with no option but to continue what I call evacuation and repatriation flights under managed and controlled conditions."
