Indian aviation ministry has said, "As we contemplate further opening up in response to demands, we are looking at the prospect of establishing individual bilateral bubbles, India-US, India-France, India-Germany, India-UK. These are all destinations where demand for travel has not diminished. Final decisions pursuant to negotiations are expected to be taken soon."
America took the decision after the Indian government barred American carriers to operate between the two countries.
On Monday, the US Department of Transport (DOT) said that Air India “will be required, effective 30 days after the service date of this Order, to obtain prior approval from the Department…before operating any Third- and/or Fourth-Freedom charter flights to or from the United States”.
All the international flights were suspended in the country in March 25 because of the pandemic. Then, Air India began operating chartered flights for international destinations under the Vande Bharat Mission from May 6 to help stranded people reach their home.
