NEW DELHI: Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri Tuesday said the Centre is taking all precautions and keeping an eye on the situation in Singapore after Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal appealed to it to cancel all flights with the city-state as a very dangerous coronavirus strain has been detected there. Kejriwal ji, all international flights have been stopped since March 2020. We have no air bubble with Singapore either, Puri said on Twitter.
Only a few flights are being operated between the two countries under Vande Bharat Mission to bring stranded Indians back, he added. We are still keeping an eye on the situation. All precautions are being taken, Puri noted.

Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri Tuesday said he foresees a slight extension of temporary suspension of passenger flights between India and the UK, where a new variant of the coronavirus has been detected. The Civil Aviation Ministry had last week suspended all flights between that country and India from December 23 to December 31 over the mutated variant of the virus. I foresee a slight extension of temporary suspension of India-UK flights, the minister told a press conference. In the next day or two, we will find out if any additional steps need to be taken, or when we can start easing the current temporary suspension, he said.
