However, restrictions will not apply to international all-cargo operations and flights specifically approved by the DGCA.
The decision was taken after Prime Minister Modi announced the nation-wide lockdown to fight the coronavirus pandemic. Notably, state-owned Air India had already announced suspension of its flights till April 30. But now, all the airlines will have to follow the latest government order by suspending their domestic as well as international operations by 19 more days.
