There will be a slight delay in operating the evacuation flights to bring back Indians stuck around the world due to the coronavirus pandemic. The flights will probably start on May 8 night instead of on May 7.
This is because some countries are insisting on corona negative certificates for both the crew operating the flights and those who are on the flights.
This message was conveyed late in the evening to the top brass of Air India, which is to operate all the 64 flights to bring back 14,800 Indians stranded abroad in the first phase of the evacuation process.
