Doha: Air-India's mission to evacuate Indian nationals stranded in Lebanon will not result in any disruptions in the airline's schedules to Doha, Vijaya Sagalgile, Customer Relations and Airport Manager, said here yesterday. The Indian national carrier had evacuated almost 900 such Indian citizens from Beirut to destinations in India, via Larnaca in Cyprus.
"With almost 10,000 Indians stranded as war struck Lebanon, Air India is operating special flights to evacuate them from Larnaca in Cyprus. Indian nationals are being brought by naval ships from the Beirut port to Larnaca from where they are flown home on Air India," she added.
Vijaya said, on July 21, Air India operated two flights from Larnaca bringing some 602 Indians evacuated from the war zone, to Mumbai and Chennai. On Monday, the airline evacuated another 840 passengers to Chennai, Mumbai and New Delhi.
