Air India to run special domestic flights for Vande Bharat evacuees only

National passenger carrier Air India will operate special domestic ferry flights for only those passengers who have been repatriated under the "Vande Bharat" mission.

Accordingly, the airline will run these special ferry flights during the second phase of the repatriation mission, news agency IANS reported. 

The airline has been engaged in bringing back thousands of Indian citizens from abroad on account of the global outbreak of Covid-19.

However, many passengers brought to large hub airports would require further transport to reach their home states.
