No links, but LH/LX/UA are flying as of now - including KL - that's about what I know...not paying too much attention at this time...

the flight ban for regular flights is in effect till 31st august so there is a good possibility that published schedules will be released closer to that date....there is always the chance that the ban could be extended so no point releasing schedules right now....

All the airlines flying in the travel bubble now have their Sept schedules published... EK, VS, UK etc.all have. UA definitely has published Sept. schedules... didn't check the LH. I don't think LX has started operations yet.

I would assume the travel bubble arrangement won't be lifted from 1st Sept... given that it will take some time for the airlines to market and sell tickets before they start flying.

It's a little weird because LH has its BOM/DEL schedules for Sept available for booking. I'm not sure if they're dropping BLR from 1st Sept because that's the only route that seems to be not available - leading me to suspect it's not an issue of not yet publishing schedules because they've done so for DEL & BOM already.

You can look at ME3 & BA for flights avoiding DEL & BOM. I'm not sure if you've got an affinity towards *A but I don't see any viable routes on that.

I have info that UA will maintain/restart their scheduled operations - but of course this depends on the government...

Nope. FRA-BLR for Sept was not available... hence OP's question and the thread discussing it.

No wonder. I suspected that it was either govt. permissions or them reconsidering the route that would stop them from selling tickets till about 10 days before departure.
