Melbourne Lockdown International Flights. Incoming international travelers will also need to self-isolate, but authorities did not specify for how long. International flights into Victoria will also be diverted to other states and an inquiry will be held into the hotel quarantine process.
The lockdown went into place hours before the border between the state of Victoria, of which Melbourne is the capital, and New South Wales (NSW) was due to close. Interestingly enough, this is when inter-provincial travel will be permitted – so people will be extremely limited in what flights they can take should the market open. Coronavirus hot spots in Melbourne's inner north and west have been put into lockdown in an effort to contain an outbreak of the deadly disease in Victoria.
Recommended arrival time for checking in for an international flight is three hours.

Incoming international travelers will also need to self-isolate, but authorities did not specify for how long. Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said airlines are "advised" to open bookings only after the government takes a decision on starting domestic and international commercial passenger flight services. Aviation regulator DGCA said it has not taken a decision regarding when to commence the operation of domestic and international flights.
