The list restricts entry of passengers, barring UK and Irish nationals and permanent residents.
Air India has cancelled all its flights to London from April 24-30, following the UK government’s decision to include India in the red list of countries.
The inclusion of India in the red list restricts the entry of all passengers except citizens of the UK and Ireland. Permanent residents of the UK are allowed to travel, too.
In all, thirteen flights will be cancelled between London and Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru during this period.
British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, and Vistara operate flights between India and London too, but so far have not announced any changes in schedule.
Air India said that the flights were being cancelled in view of recent restrictions announced by the UK government.
Further updates regarding rescheduling, refunds and waivers will be informed shortly, Air India said in a tweet.
“Post the uplifting of restrictions, flights schedule from Delhi and Mumbai to UK are being planned. Information regarding this will also be updated on our website and social media channels,” it added.
“We’re currently reviewing our schedule of India operations from 23 April and recommend that any customers booked to travel to or from India with us check their flight status on www.virginatlantic.com. Any customers who made their booking through a third party or travel agent, should contact them directly with any questions,” a Virgin Atlantic spokesperson said.
