New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday issued new COVID rules for airports and aircraft, making masks mandatory throughout the journey and allowing mask removal only under exceptional circumstances.
Violators of the new rules can be fined and also put on the ‘no-fly list’, the aviation regulator said.

If passengers repeatedly refuse to wear masks and do not follow COVID protocols, they will be deboarded or treated as “unruly”.
The CISF personnel will be in charge of enforcing mask guidelines at the airports, it added.
