India will resume scheduled international flights after two years from March 27 and end air-bubble arrangements, the aviation regulator said in a statement on Twitter Tuesday.

The move may spell a further boost for Indian carriers, which are adding back capacity as more people take to the skies with Covid-19 infections receding and vaccination cover increasing. Falling infections have paved the way for relaxations in movement curbs and boosted domestic travel.
