The Government of India expects to have some people fly out on the empty legs of repatriation flights out of India as well to get them back to their home countries. Here is how to go about getting on these repatriation flights.
Here is the price list of all the Air India flights which will be operated for repatriating Indian citizens from other countries over the next week.
The Government of India has initiated a plan to bring back home thousands of Indians back home on special evacuation flights. In the first phase, these flights will be operated by Air India using their fleets of 787s, 777s and A320/A321 aircraft. Here are all the details!
Air India has started pushing out a new schedule for flights in the coming days. Take note, however, that these flights are not yet open for sale. However, this shows that Air India has perhaps started to plan for a post lockdown opening of flights.
All the airlines operating inside India, as well as operating flights to India, have been told to stop the sale of flights to/from/within India till further notice, to make sure that the airlines won’t be able to take new reservations for the time being.
The time to EFFECTIVELY regulate the airlines is now, but unfortunately, they are getting a free hand at doing a lot of things which they should not be doing at the moment. Consumer protection is not how it should have been during the times of CoVid-19.
Air India has opened up reservations for flights abroad from June 1, 2020. This may be indicative of the timeline when most airlines will be able to actually open up future international flights in line with getting over with CoVid-19. Social Distancing on the plane will be practiced on the plane as well.
Airlines have been very kind to us offering a “credit shell” while they should have kindly returned our cash when they ended up in the CoVid-19 Soup. But these credit shells are flawed and have many issues, so take a look at these issues before you accept them.
Time for the same thing to go round and round. Airlines have opened booking for flights from May 4, 2020 onwards, however, our advice remains the same. Don’t book a flight ticket at the moment if you don’t have to. You never know if this flight is going to take off or not.
As we all prepare to stay at home for another three weeks, give or take, don’t expect to fly anywhere anytime soon. No commercial flights will operate till May 3, 2020, for the moment.
Flying will not be the same again, at least in the coming months. If the new rules of engagement are to be believed, a lot of changes will be made to how we are used to flying. Find out inside.
