Other nations with which India has signed an air bubble agreement include the United States, France, Germany, Britain, Maldives, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Afghanistan and Bahrain. Both countries have been quick to install the air bubble, with the Canadian government seeking permission to do so last week. “It contributes to the comfort of Indian and Canadian citizens,” said Ajay Bisaria, India`s High Commissioner in Ottawa. In order to mitigate a large number of quarantine and covid 10 rules in arrival destinations, governments are implementing “air bubble” agreements between countries. Air bubbles or travel corridors are systems set up between two countries that consider each other safe and allow airlines from both countries to fly without restrictions in both directions. The Air Bubble agreement is a bilateral air corridor set up between different countries in order to ease travel restrictions amid the travel ban imposed by different countries due to the coronavirus. Despite the ban, India was one of the first nations to begin repatriating stranded Indians as early as May. Soon after, Air Bubbles was created to make the journey even easier. The air bubble was introduced in mid-August with the two national airlines, Air India and Air Canada, which made round trips between the two countries. As part of Phase 6 of the Vande Bharat mission, an additional 56 flights will operate between Toronto and Vancouver and destinations in India until October 24. With 73 flights that have taken passengers to India since May 20, when they first left Vancouver, the total number will exceed 100 by the end of the month.
