New Delhi: With 337 more persons reaching India on Friday, Air India has brought more than 1,600 Indians back from the quake-hit Japan. It has also transported over 25 tonnes of relief material, including 20,000 blankets, to that country.
“A total of 337 people arrived from Tokyo in Air India's flight AI 307 today [Friday]. Since March 12, the airline has brought back 1,637 passengers, mostly Indians, from Japan,” an Air India official said. On Thursday, the airline carried 385 passengers from Tokyo's Narita Airport.
Air India has deployed Boeing 747-400 aircraft on the Delhi-Tokyo route, instead of the regular Boeing 777-300, to accommodate more Indians wanting to return home from Japan.
