After the second wave of COVID-19 infections in several European countries, they come up with a plan called air bubbles. In an air bubble, two countries can continue their air-channel without continuing it with every other country. Now, many countries have made these air-bubbles with each other, India being one of them.

As of now, India has created air-bubble with the following 13 countries:

• US
• Canada
• UK
• France
• Germany
• UAE
• Afghanistan
• Bahrain
• Iraq
• Japan
• Maldives
