India -- While the 30-day ban on flights from India over Covid-19 surge announced by Canada is due to end next week, Air Canada's suspension of services will continue till the third week of June.

India — While the 30-day ban on flights from India over Covid-19 surge announced by Canada is due to end next week, Air Canada’s suspension of services will continue till the third week of June.

“We did this in anticipation of the existing suspension of flights between the two countries being extended,” the spokesperson added. While that will expire on May 21, it is unlikely to be lifted immediately by Transport Cabana, the department handling aviation, due to the continuing surge in coronavirus cases in India, and mounting demand from provincial governments in Canada to even restrict domestic air travel.

Meanwhile, passengers from India who arrive via an indirect route, through a third country, have to provide a pre-departure negative coronavirus test result from the last port before continuing their journey.
