International flights from India will resume operations from August 1, 2020.

There is no confirmation by the airlines' authority whether International flights will resume in August. Some flights may operate after approvals.

There is no confirmation by the airlines' authority whether International flights will resume in August. Some flights may operate after approvals. International flights were banned from operating in India as the government announced lockdown starting March 23, 2020. However, some passengers stuck abroad were allowed to fly back to India under Mission Vande Bharat. There was also speculation that international flights will be started from August 1 with capped capacity.

On June 20, Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri had said that the government would start thinking on the resumption of scheduled international passenger flights in mid-July when it expects the domestic air traffic to reach 50-55 percent of the levels before the coronavirus. However, he has clarified that many countries are restricting international flights, and the resumption will be gradual. Further, the authorities are trying to establish bilateral understandings with various countries (air bubbles), so that flight operations can be resumed with certain countries.

However, as of July 28, 2020, there is no official confirmation from the aviation ministry regarding the resumption of international flights from India.
