In a scenario when international flights are suspended from India, it came as a ray of hope for many that India and UAE have agreed to operate special repatriation flights between the two countries from July 12 to 26. Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri announced on Twitter that the Civil Aviation Authorities of both countries have agreed to operationalise a special arrangement of flights.
“As part of the close strategic partnership between the Govts of India & UAE, and with a view to assisting UAE residents who are presently in India to return to UAE, the Civil Aviation Authorities of both countries have agreed to operationalise a special arrangement,” the Minister said in a tweet.
