“However, international scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the competent authority on case to case basis.”

Passenger air services were suspended on March 25, 2020 due to the nationwide lockdown to check the spread of Covid-19.

Domestic flight services, however, resumed from May 25, 2020.
