All UK flights to India have been suspended until 8 January.
The Foreign Office confirmed the move by the Indian government in a travel advice update on Wednesday (30 December).
"On 30 December, [the] government of India announced the temporary suspension of all flights from the UK to India will now be extended until 7 January 2021 11.59pm," read the new FCDO advice.
Anyone who had been looking to travel during the extended cancellation window is advised to consult their airline.
The FCDO also updated its advice with regards to those who have recently travelled to India from the UK.
Those who arrived between 9 December and 21 December will be monitored for 14 days from date of arrival, which will include testing, quarantine and contact tracing, with similar measures applying to close community contacts in the event of a positive test.
