It issued a press release on Wednesday in this regard.
Medevac/humanitarian/relief flights and cargo flights will remain out of the suspension.
Besides, international flights will operate as scheduled previously.
Passengers, crew, equipment, and aircraft must follow the standard disinfection, sanitisation, and social distancing procedures.
The limited lockdown, which began on Monday, ends on Wednesday.
