Direct flights begin to India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh and SriLanka, iiQ8
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has approved the resumption of direct outgoing flights to five banned countries – India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka from Tuesday, May 18, but decided to continue to ban on incoming passenger flights from these five countries, reports Al-Anba daily.
According to reliable sources, the approval was issued to facilitate the travel of residents of these nationalities, which was hindered due to the decision to suspend commercial flights to those countries. Kuwait Airways and Jazeera Airways, in addition to the airlines of those countries, will operate the flights.
DGCA is currently awaiting the issuance of new directives from the Cabinet regarding the removal of some countries from the list of banned countries, in preparation for the resumption of direct flights to them. The sources chose not to disclose the names of those countries until an official decision is issued regarding them. They said DGCA recently discussed the resumption of flights during the summer season to new destinations in Turkey, such as Bodrum and Trabzon, as well as flights to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan.
They indicated that the flight movements to most of these destinations will be implemented as of June after obtaining the official approvals, adding that some of them will resume during the current month.
Regarding the implementation of the decision to increase the number of passengers coming to the country from May 22, the sources said DGCA is still working on determining the number of passengers on each incoming flight, taking into account the removal of any country from the list of banned countries, where the travel density increases, knowing that the trips of domestic workers are excluded from that number.
