It must be noted that the scheduled international passenger services have been suspended in India since March 23, 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, the special international flights have been operating under the Vande Bharat Mission since May 2020 and under bilateral “air bubble” arrangements with selected countries since July 2020.
So far, India has formed air bubble agreements with approximately 28 countries, including the US, the UK, the UAE, Kenya, Bhutan and France. Under an air bubble pact between two countries, special international flights can be operated by their airlines between their territories.
