Indian Airline Companies Submit Evacuation Plan To Centre

The national carrier Air India and other private airlines in India have submitted an evacuation plan before the Government of India after the latter recently asked them to be on standby with their aircraft for mass evacuation of Indians from different countries.

A statement from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Monday read, " Government of India will be facilitating the return of Indian nationals stranded abroad on compelling grounds in a phased manner. The travel would be arranged by aircraft and naval ships. The Standard Operating Protocol (SOP) has been prepared in this regard."

It added, "Indian Embassies and High Commissions are preparing a list of distressed Indian citizens. This facility would be made available on payment basis. Non-scheduled commercial flights would be arranged for air travel. The travel would begin in a phased manner from May 7."
