COVID-19: Guidance on air travel bubbles with 34 countries provided

IMPACT – MEDIUM

The Indian government has added countries and provided additional guidance on its air travel bubbles with 34 countries.

Key Points:

• As of Dec. 16, India has air travel bubbles with 34 countries, including Australia, Canada, France and the U.S.
• The air travel bubbles provide similar benefits and permissions for travelers from India and the respective destination country.
  • Air travel bubbles allow eligible individuals to fly to and from India even though most commercial air travel remains suspended.
• A full list of India’s transport bubbles is available here.

Additional Information: Individuals are advised to check the entry, health and eligibility requirements of their destination country before making flight reservations.

BAL Analysis: India continues to restrict air travel into the country; however, the air bubble travel arrangements permit passenger services between India and participating countries. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, and BAL will provide additional updates as information becomes available.
