Lufthansa cancels all flights from India till Oct 20

Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has said there are restrictions in place for Indian nationals desiring to travel to Germany which was putting Indian carriers at a significant disadvantage resulting in inequitable distribution of traffic in favour of Lufthansa.<br />''<br />'' India formalised an air bubble arrangement with Germany in July this year, which allows nationals of both countries to travel in either direction.<br />'' <br />''In a series of tweets, DGCA said yesterday that Lufthansa operated 20 flights a week as against Indian carriers operating 3 to 4 flights a week. In spite of this disparity, India offered to clear 7 flights a week for Lufthansa which was not accepted by them. DGCA said negotiations continue in the matter.<br />''<br />''<span style="color: #222222;">Lufthansa has cancelled all India flights from this date to 20th of October, citing 'rejection' of schedule by authorities.</span><br />
