Abu Dhabi, June 29 (TIWN) The Abu-Dhabi based Etihad Airways on Tuesday that suspension of flights from India to the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) capital city has been extended till July 21.

The UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) had earlier clarified that passenger flights between the Gulf nation and India will remain suspended until further notice, reports the Khaleej Times.  On Sunday, Dubai's flagship carrier Emirates said that expects to resume its flights from India from July 7.  But said that it was waiting for exact travel protocols and relevant permits from the government authorities.  The Dubai-based airline had announced the suspension first on April 24 as a devastating second wave of the pandemic hit India, leading to record high number of daily cases and deaths.  In May, it had extended the suspension till at least June 14.
