- In the first week, there were flights to the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore.
- There will now be 5 flights from Indonesia, 6 from Malaysia and 5 from the Philippines.
- Along with Southeast Asia, there will be 6 flights to Australia, one first, to Sydney and Melbourne.
In the first week, India plans to bring back some 15,000 people, but from a limited number of countries. The second week, starting May 16, promises to be bigger and many more countries will be flown, including places where Air India does not fly.
India is planning 106 flights and 21 secondary flights to take passengers to cities closer to their destinations once they land in India. And this time, India is sending flights to other areas: continental Europe, Russia, other countries that were part of the former Soviet Union, Canada, and more countries in the Far East and Australia.
If about 15,000 people are expected in the first week by air, about 25,000 are expected in the second week. Of the 106 flights, the largest number will be to the Gulf, where there are thousands of citizens awaiting their return. There will be 11 flights to the United Arab Emirates, including 7 to Dubai, 6 to Saudi Arabia and due to the size of the country, Riyadh, Dammam and Jeddah, 2 to Bahrain, 3 to Kuwait, 7 to Oman and 3 to Qatar. And they return not only to Kochi or Trivandrum, but also to Kannur, Vishakhapatnam, Bhubaneswar, Mangalore, Vijayawada, Tirupati and Kozhikode.

There have been flights from Bangladesh in the first week. In the second week, there will be one flight each to Nepal and Afghanistan. There will be a flight to Dhaka, Bangladesh as well.
The biggest challenge could be Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The 5 flights to Moscow would not be a big problem, but Air India does not have flights to Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan. It will take a week for the Indian government to obtain permits before the 7 flights to Kazakhstan (Almaty, Karaganda and Nur-sultan, considering a large number of students there), the 6 flights to Ukraine and the 4 flights to Kyrgyzstan. site. There will also be flights to Belarus, Georgia and Armenia.
There will be 6 flights to the United States, New York, Washington DC, Chicago and San Francisco and we will return to Hyderabad, Bangalore and Ahmedabad. And in the first, there will be 5 flights to Canada, Toronto and Vancouver. And a Vancouver flight, taking passengers into account, heads to Amritsar.
Evacuation from Africa is on the agenda, with a flight from Lagos, Nigeria. There may be more flights to Africa in the future.
In the first week, Indian citizens were transferred out of London. In the second week, there will be 5 flights to Great Britain, and they would return to non-metropolitan cities, but to Vijayawada, Varanasi, Gaya, Ahmedabad, Indore, Jaipur, Amritsar and Kochi, as well as Delhi. This means that there is an effort to move people as close as possible to their home cities: leaving them in Delhi and Mumbai would have caused a lot of inconvenience for both passengers and the government, because there would be a quarantine of fifteen days after returning.
Flying to the European continent, India is looking for a flight to Rome, Italy, and two to Paris, France, and Dublin, Italy. Once again, in addition to Delhi, flights will be to Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Cochin and Vijayawada.
Week three could be a bigger effort …
