Govt charts mega evacuation plan to bring back stranded Indians abroad
- As many as 15,000 Indians are expected to be brought back on these flights from as many as 12 countries, including the UK, the US and the UAE
- Passengers will have to pay for the journey
NEW DELHI : National carrier Air India Ltd will operate 64 flights from 7 May to 13 May to bring back citizens stranded abroad, civil aviation minister Hardeep Puri said on Tuesday. However, passengers will have to pay for the journey, he said.
As many as 15,000 Indians are expected to be brought back on these flights from as many as 12 countries, including the UK, the US and the United Arab Emirates, said the minister. These would include 10 flights from the UAE; seven each from the UK, the US, Bangladesh and Malaysia; five each from Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the Philippines and Kuwait; and two each from Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, Puri said. India is also pressing into service military transport planes and naval ships to bring back citizens stranded in other countries in the biggest such exercise a country has undertaken during peacetime. On Tuesday, India dispatched three naval ships to the Maldives and the UAE, the ministry of external affairs said.
Those being brought back on Air India planes will have to pay as much as ₹100,000 if they are coming from the US, about ₹20,000 for those coming from Singapore, and about ₹12,000 for people from Bangladesh. Bringing back Indians stranded abroad is equivalent to conducting commercial services under special circumstances and the government is constrained to charge them because of the large number of people who are to be brought back, Puri said. “The charge levied is way below what it will cost the airline to conduct the operation as the aircraft will have to travel one way without any passenger," he said.
“All passengers will be screened on arrival and will be subjected to a 14-day quarantine. This will be made known prior to the facility being offered," the minister said.
200,000 people have expressed interest in being brought back and the number may go up, Puri said. “As we go along, the possibility of private airlines joining the exercise will be considered," he said.
Indians who want to come home can also seek government approval to fly on charter flights and business jets in the coming days, Puri said.
However, the government is yet to take a decision on resumption of normal air travel operations, which is suspended till 17 May. “Commercial operations can resume only when the origin and destination are green. It will require meticulous planning," said the aviation minister.
“Opening up of civil aviation has to be done in a graded and calibrated manner," Puri said. Flight operations may begin with only a fourth of the existing capacity. There will be safeguards when the sector is opened up, but these cannot be so severe that it kills economic activity, he said.
“I don’t know if it is viable to operate a flight while keeping one-third of aircraft empty," Puri said, adding that the ministry will address such issues.
