Two more repatriation flights, as a part of the Vande Bharat Mission, carrying hundreds of Indian tourists and expts stuck in the UAE back home are all set to leave the country on Friday

As more than 200,000 residents have requested for flights back home, the Indian repatriation airlines will be conducting thorough checks of passengers prior to the takeoff, which no other repatriation airlines have done as of yet.

Air India Express IX 0540 will leave Dubai at 2.55pm for Chennai and a second flight IX 0612 will depart at 7pm.

Pregnant women, children, older people or Indian nationals with health problems are being given priority in return flights.

The two repatriation flights that took off from the UAE on Thursday were the first of 10 return flights arranged between the UAE and India over the course of the coming next week…

All passengers leaving the UAE will have to comply with a mandatory 14-day quarantine once they’ve returned back.
