Kolkata: The Japanese consulate in Kolkata has organised a charter flight from the city to Bengaluru where Japanese nationals will board a Japan Airlines aircraft to return home to Tokyo. The charter flight will take off on Tuesday.
According to sources, Japanese living and working in Haldia and other cities and towns in eastern India will be repatriated in the flight. With the Japanese contingent in the region not big enough to operate a long haul aircraft to make the 7 hours and 30 minutes trip, the consulate decided to fly them in a charter to Bengaluru where they will be transferred to a larger aircraft for the flight to Tokyo along with other Japanese citizens stranded in south India since the lockdown.
With Japan appearing to have crossed the peak in the Covid-19 crisis cycle and India poised to enter the critical phase, Japanese citizens are desperate to return to the country.
