No clarity on this, I saw in some FB group that someone called BA and agent said they are not allowing COPR holders it seems, doesnot make any sense. But when i called BA, they clearly mentioned they dont have any restrictions, No one knows who can and who cant

Also, this is what I assume, it completely depends on the person who issues boarding pass, the reason i saw this is recently a family was denied to board in India even though the are eligible to enter Canada with current restrictions, they are strong and argued with the person denying and later after some time they were allowed to board the flight. So its completely depending on whom we are dealing with

I spoke to two different BA agents today at different timings. I mentioned that I hold a PR of Canada and both of them clearly said that only the citizens of the other country are allowed to travel.
When I stressed the point that does BA have any restrictions, the only answer I heard was "We are not trained to give a reply for that, please visit the ministry of home affairs for any other information".

Now confusion has added a little more on my side.

Its all to drill down to DGCA. They are holding the restrictions for private carriers not to allow CoPR holders. They are not even running enough AI flights.

This is what the airlines are denying any such communication from DGCA currently

This is what the airlines are denying any such communication from DGCA currently

They generally receive this on later date.
Since this has been circulated yesterday, I expect it to be on DGCA website may be by tomorrow.
Hopefully airlines would receive this may be in another couple of days.

Good Luck

Thanks for sharing, So COPR holders will be allowed ? there is no clarity yet

HYD to LON to TOR via British airways

Hi Everyone, might help someone. I visited airport to talk to on ground crew of Lufthansa, currently they are allowing PR card holders, but CoPRs not sure as the guy said they would know the required documents to check only after scanning the passport at their counter.
On questioning about travel relaxations for indian nationals allowing to travel to any air bubble countries with any kind of Visa, I got to know currently only London is allowing people with any kind of visa.
These are some information customer care centers aren't able to answer.

 

[asdf27702]

Lufthansa flight schedule for rest of the month is published , but still the condition remains same.

All other Foreign Nationals and/or the spouse/children of such persons whether accompanying or otherwise. Indian Nationals holding US green cards, Canadian Permanent Residence status or any other eligible visa are permitted on this special relief flight if he/she is a spouse of a foreign national.

• Permanent Residence Permit holders for all third countries (including US Green Cards Holders and Canadian PR Holders) with no immediate family connection (for this purpose, only spouse is considered an immediate family connection) are currently not included in the eligibility criteria.
