India’s national carrier Air India, announced plans to resume direct, non-stop flights between Delhi and Sydney from November 15. As per the reports, the flights will operate thrice a week.

India’s national carrier, while sharing this information via tweet, stated that booking would start from 1200 hours on Wednesday through booking offices, the Air India website, authorised travel agents, and booking offices.

As per reports, the New South Wales state of Australia will be opening borders for international travellers, without quarantine, starting from November 1, which will mark the full return of overseas travel after more than 19 months.

The said move will allow both the airlines to resume flight operations between India and Australia, which will be beneficial for tourists as India will also start issuing tourist visas for international travellers starting November 15.

Also, as per the updated travel guidelines issued on October 26, all travellers arriving in Australia will be required to undergo a 14 quarantine. Further, as of now, entry of tourists is restricted down under, and only select/permitted categories or those granted individual exemptions are allowed to enter Australia.
