Transit Without Visa through Heathrow for travel from Canada - is it still valid during COVID?

Upvote:3

I am answering my own question. There are a few points here:

  1. TWOV will still be allowed after I checked with Heathrow Airport. COVID doesn't affect that.
  2. BA however does not let you board the flight from India to Canada since BA is meant only for repatriation to UK (at least till Nov 30th until when commercial international flights are suspended in India). Similarly, for instance, Lufthansa is meant for repatriation between India and Germany, United for the US. For travel to Canada as a Canadian PR from India, the air bubble agreement by Indian government with Canada states that I can only take Indian carriers (Air India) or Air Canada.
  3. Similarly, the air bubble agreement between different countries only allows Indian carriers or one of the country's carriers (examples above).
