Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that before resuming international passenger flights India needs to look into several factors.
Puri tweeted, "Numerous citizens have been approaching us to restart international flights. Several factors need to be addressed."
"Many international destinations are not allowing incoming passenger traffic, except for their citizens or diplomats," he added.
He also said that within India most international flights operate from the metro cities where travelers arrive from the neighboring cities & states.
Puri also said, "As we move towards the critical mass of 50-60% operation of domestic flights, our ability to resume international operations will also improve."
