Amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis, India has launched one of the largest evacuation processes as it has brought over 18,000 Indians back from the war-ravaged country via special flights over the last one week. Under the Operation Ganga, India is evacuating Indians through countries such as Romania, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Moldova. Recently, a video shared by an Air India pilot on Instagram has gone viral in which she is seen operating an evacuation flight from Budapest.
“A very proud moment for me as I got a chance to serve my nation. My entire crew and I safely evacuated 249 Indian students studying in Ukraine from Budapest airport in Hungary,” says the text on the video.
The video was uploaded by Capt Shivani Kalra, a pilot with Air India. She has over four lakh followers on Instagram.
