After the United Kingdom, UAE and Hong Kong, now Iran and Kuwait on Saturday suspended all commercial flights from India for an indefinite period with immediate effect amid rising cases of Covid.
In a circular, Kuwait’s directorate general of civil aviation said that it had suspended all direct commercial flights coming from India, effective April 24. All passengers arriving from India either directly or via another country will be banned from entering unless they have spent at least 14 days out of India, it said in a statement on Twitter.
Iran has also decided to bar flights from India. Mohammad Hassan Zibakhsh, spokesman for Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization noted there are no routine flights between Iran and India and “flights are operated occasionally.”
