The flights service of British Airways between India and the United Kingdom is increased. Vaccinated passengers are welcomed without serving a quarantine period.
On Tuesday, 17th of August 2021, an announcement of British Airways flights between India and the UK surprised everyone. There is an increase in the flight services between these two countries.
Since the UK shifted India from Red list to Amber list, the travel demand grew. The amber list depicts the vaccinated category of passengers. They can travel without spending compulsory 10 days quarantine. The number of flight services jumped from 10 to 20 per week.
British Airways carriers are arriving from different cities of India. For instance, Hyderabad, Delhi, and Mumbai. The Indian government has now allowed additional number of airplanes. This government stated the permitted weekly range of planes from 15 to 34.
Moreover, the airline appreciated the purpose of flights to keep people close to their loved ones. The airline’s codeshare partner is American Airlines. This is optimistic news for eligible students, desiring to connect to UK or US.
The agreement condition is supposedly called the bilateral air bubble. This is a circumstance where carriers of two different countries can travel under set regulations.
For staying updated regarding the pandemic and bilateral rules, passengers should visit the airline’s official website. Visitors should arrange their own COVID 19 test, aligning the requirements of UK government testing. The positive result completely restricts the travel of individuals until it is negative.
Public areas require masks and particular limitations are implemented on gatherings. In case of violating these rules, there is a penalty. Furthermore, the metro service is resumed on limited basis. However, the essentials like ATMs, pharmacies and grocery services are regularly operating.
Presently, India has a pact of bilateral air bubbles with 28 countries. Some of them are Canada, Germany, Tanzania, UAE, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh, Qatar, Nepal, Kenya, the US, Bhutan, and Afghanistan.
Another expectation is between the airlines of the UK and US. The flight bans will supposedly lift in September. This ban was preventing the UK citizens residing in the US from traveling to their homeland. The constraint was initialized in March 2020, since the pandemic.
London Heathrow Airport’s spokesperson raised the query of letting vaccinated UK travelers travel to the United Kingdom. Previously, the vaccinated US citizens were visiting this European place. Officials of England also noticed the travel picking up from the US to the UK.
