New Delhi/IBNS: India's aviation regulator (DGCA) on Monday extended the ban on scheduled international commercial passenger flights till "further orders".

"The competent authority has decided to extend the suspension of scheduled international commercial passenger services to/from India till further orders." This restriction will not apply to international all-cargo operations and flights specifically approved by the DGCA," the Directorate General of Civil Aviation said in a statement.

Earlier, the ban on the flights was extended on Feb 28.

The flights were banned owing to the rise in coronavirus pandemic.

However, all cargo operations and flights specifically approved by DGCA will function normally.
