A Mahan Air flight from Iran is expected to land here on Friday tonight with swab samples of 300 Indians stranded there, senior government officials said.
Mahan is an Iranian airline which flew between Iran and Delhi thrice a week before the government stopped all flights from that country.
“It will be a ferry flight of Mahan Air. It will not have any passengers from Iran; only swabs of Indians. The return flight will carry back Iranians in India,” said Arun Kumar, Director General, Directorate General of Civil Aviation. Civil Aviation Secretary Pradeep Singh Kharola added that if the need arose more such flights would be allowed.
