Air India’s two evacuation flights came from Romanian capital Bucharest and Hungarian capital Budapest to Delhi on Monday with 489 Indian nationals who were stranded in Ukraine after the Russian military offensive, officials said.
Other private carriers such as SpiceJet, IndiGo and Air India Express have also sent their planes to the two cities for evacuation of Indians as the Ukraine airspace is closed.
India began the evacuation of its citizens from Romania and Hungary – western neighbours of Ukraine – on Saturday and the Tata Group-owned Air India has brought back 1,396 Indian nationals in six evacuation flights till now.
