The second wave of COVID-19 in India broke all the records, and the country reported record high cases each day, and although now the graph is in a downward trend, there seems to be no respite for international travelers from India. In the latest development, UAE has further extended its ban on flights from India until 6 July 2021.
The suspension of flights between India-UAE was announced on 24 April 2021, and ever since then, the ban has been extended as the situation kept getting worse in India. Most countries suspended the ban on flights from India as a new variant of the virus was detected in the country. The travel ban issued by UAE has exemptions for UAE nationals, diplomats, and UAE Golden Visa holders.
Emirates and Etihad Airways had made announcements on 30th May 2021 regarding the suspension of flights between India-UAE. Air India Express announced this suspension in their tweet saying, “General Authority of Civil Aviation, UAE, has suspended all inbound passenger movement from India (excluding UAE nationals) till 6th July 2021. Passengers who booked to fly with us during this period can reschedule their tickets for travel at a future date.”
This extension of the ban has not only affected Indians who want to fly to the UAE but also hundreds of UAE health workers who have been stuck in India. Indian Ambassador to UAE, Pavan Kapoor, has told that this issue has been raised with UAE authorities and will soon find a solution to assist them.
