The Air Bubble arrangement between India and Qatar has been extended for July, the Indian embassy has said.
"The flights have resumed under this arrangement. Thank civil aviation authorities and airlines on both sides for their continued co-operation in providing the requisite air connectivity," the embassy tweeted on Thursday.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India has extended the ban on scheduled overseas passenger flights until July 31, according to Indian media reports.
However, this ban will not be applicable to dedicated cargo flights and flights operating under the bilateral air bubble pacts with selected nations.
In March last year, India suspended international flights for the first time after the government imposed a countrywide lockdown during the first wave of the pandemic.
The Indian government now has a bilateral air bubble agreement with 28 countries for special international passenger flights.
