As Phase 2 of the Vande Bharat repatriation flights get underway, the limited numbers of flights to Karnataka have left many state residents stranded overseas pessimistic.
Karnataka residents in Japan and New Zealand who have been omitted from the direct flight lists to the state pointed out that the number of flights to Maharashtra and Delhi outnumbers those to other states.
According to data from Air India, 80 flights in Phase two are headed to Delhi from international locations, followed by 21 to Maharashtra and 16 flights to Karnataka. Kerala has 41 flights expected, while Andhra Pradesh has 10 and Telangana has 16.
