New Delhi: Flight operations between India and the United Kingdom, which have been banned due to the emergence of new strain of coronavirus, will resume from January 8, said Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Friday.
“It has been decided that flights between India and the UK will resume from January 8, 2021. Operations till January 23 will be restricted to 15 flights per week each for carriers of two countries to and from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad only,” the Minister said in a tweet.

New Delhi: Passenger flights between the UK and India would remain suspended till January 7 and they will resume in a strictly regulated manner thereafter, Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Wednesday.
The Civil Aviation Ministry had last week suspended all flights between the European country and India from December 23 to December 31 as a mutated variant of the coronavirus was detected there.
Puri s announcement has come following a recommendation by the Union Health Ministry to extend the suspension of India-UK flights till January 7.
Puri said on Twitter: Decision has been taken to extend the temporary suspension of flights to & from the UK till 7 January 2021.
Mumbai: A group of 219 Air India employees submitted a bid to purchase 51 per cent of the loss-making state-owned carrier.
The remaining will be held by a financial partner, according to Meenakshi Malik, who is Air India s commercial director and has been with the airline for about 30 years. Each employee will have to contribute at least 100,000 rupees ($1,360) toward the bid.
Air India has been on sale since 2017 when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi s cabinet signed off on a plan to sell all or part of the debt-ridden carrier. The government sweetened the deal earlier this year when it extended the bid deadline to December 14 from October 30, saying potential suitors will be allowed to decide how much of the flag carrier s debt they want to take on as part of the transaction.
