India will lift restrictions on domestic and international flights once coronavirus spread in the country will be completely under control, said Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. "These restrictions will be lifted once we are fully confident that the spread of the virus has been controlled and it poses no danger to fellow Indians," Puri stated in a tweet. On March 25, India suspended all domestic passenger flights to prevent coronavirus spread in the country. Earlier, the Centre cancelled all the international flights in the wake of coronavirus outbreak.However, cargo flights, offshore helicopter operations, medical evacuation flights and special flights were operating during the 21-day nationwide lockdown. Puri thanked everyone for their cooperation and help in these "testing times". He further stressed on the problems being faced by people due to restrictions on domestic and international flights.
