700 passengers from four districts to reach Visakhapatnam in four flights

VISAKHAPATNAM: The first flight under the Vande Bharat Mission Phase-2 to Visakhapatnam is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. These flights are from Manila and Abu Dhabi; two more from Doha and Kuala Lumpur will leave for Vizag on May 20 and 22. The airport is even being readied to operate domestic flights in case the government gives nod.

Airport director Raj Kishore told TNIE here on Sunday that arrangements were already in place to ensure that passengers did not come in direct contact with the staff at any point, and scanners and detectors will be used to scan them. “Markings to ensure social distancing have already been made at the airport.”
