The suspension has been extended till June 15, said Alliance Air, which operates the flight between the two cities.

Earlier, with the spike in Covid-19 cases and imposition of lock down in the region, the flight was first suspended till May 20 and later, till May 31.

Ludhiana Airport officials said the last Delhi-Ludhiana-Delhi flight operated on April 9. Thereafter, the flight had remained suspended with the airline attributing the move to operational reasons.

Alliance Air official said, “The passenger traffic, pandemic situation and restrictions on travel will be reviewed by the authorities before a decision is taken to restore the flight which operates four days a week.”
