Canada Travel Ban India: Canada extends ban on direct flights from India till September 21

Canada on Monday (local time) extended the ban on direct passenger flights from India until September 21 due to risks posed by the Covid-19 pandemic amid the South Asian country's enduring struggles to contain the spread of Covid-19 within its borders, Transport Canada said, reported Sputnik.

"Based on the latest public health advice from the Public Health Agency of Canada , Transport Canada is extending the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) that restricts all direct commercial and private passenger flights to Canada from India until September 21, 2021, at 23:59 EDT," the department said in a statement.
