The Indian Embassy in Oman informed that the Air Bubble Agreement between Oman and India will continue till January 31.
India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on December 30 extended the suspension of scheduled commercial international flights till January 31, 2021. However, the restrictions will not apply on special flights as well as international air cargo operations.
The agreement came into effect on October 1, and was initially valid till November 1, which has been extended since then.
Oman Air and Salam Air from Oman, and Air India and Air India Express from India are the carriers that operate flights between Oman and India currently.
Although airlines such as Indigo, GoAir and Spice Jet operate flights between India and Oman under the Air Bubble Agreement, only the national airlines of both countries are allowed to fly passengers.
All the flights operating under Air Bubble Agreement and Vande Bharat Mission flights will go on as scheduled, the embassy informed.
India operates VBM flights to countries with which it does not have an Air Bubble Agreement, which are solely through Air India Express.
