However, according to media reports, the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority said that flights from India and 13 other countries including Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, will remain suspended until 11.59pm on July 21, 2021.

Flights from India to the UAE were originally suspended starting April 24 as the South Asian country struggled to contain the massive surge in Covid-19 infections.
