Covid-19 update: UK repatriates over 16,500 citizens from India
The UK has repatriated more than 16,500 citizens from India on 64 special charter flights since last month, the British high commission said on Friday.
The flights were operated from 32 locations across India in the past 38 days, and almost half of the Britons repatriated globally so far on UK charter flights have been from India.
This was done through a large and complex operation that involved more than 500 members of staff in India, working around the clock to ensure flights operated smoothly and passengers could reach airports.
