The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) today issued an order extending suspension of scheduled international passenger flights till February 28 in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. Such flights have been suspended in India since March 23, 2020.

The restriction would not apply to international all-cargo operations and flights approved by the DGCA.

The DGCA said the special passenger flights operating between India and about 40 countries since July 2020 under air bubble arrangements would continue.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
