National passenger airline Air India will operate special domestic ferry flights only for those passengers who have been repatriated under the “Vande Bharat” mission. Consequently, the airline will carry out these special ferry flights during the second phase of the repatriation mission.
Exclusively for repatriated passengers
Many passengers taken to large central airports would require more transportation to get to their home states. These domestic flights will connect Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Kochi, Jaipur, etc.
Air India has pledged to bring back thousands of Indian citizens from abroad due to the global COVID-19 outbreak.
Just an evacuation exercise
The evacuation exercise should not yet be seen as the beginning of national operations. This should be considered as part of the Air India evacuation operations that have been carried out under the Vande Bharat Mission. This is only the second phase of operations where national passengers can also be included.
On Wednesday, the airline brought 2,669 passengers from abroad on 13 flights. These flights are part of the massive repatriation mission amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Vande Bharat Mission
