Muscat: Second flight from the Sultanate to India carrying 183 passengers, including three infants, flew from the Muscat International Airport on Tuesday. They boarded an Air India Express commercial service instituted to aid the Indian nationals who wanted to get home on emergency grounds.
The IX 350, carrying people who need immediate medical attention back home, those whose visa validity was crossed, pregnant women and elderly who were on a visit to their dear and near one’s, were flown back to India at 4.15pm reaching Chennai at 9.15pm.
This is the second time an Indian commercial flight is taking its citizens back home, the first one being IX442 that flew to Kochi with 181 onboard on May 9. It had four infants, 48 pregnant women and elderly, and 77 others who required medical care for various conditions.
“We are working out on adding more services to help our citizens who are stranded on compelling grounds to get home immediately. The details of which will be intimated later,” Munu Mahawer, the Ambassador of India to the Sultanate of Oman said.
“We are immensely thankful to the Oman authorities, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Royal Oman Police (ROP), the Oman Airports Authority, the Muscat Airports, and all those who made the repatriation of these people possible on compelling grounds,” Mahawer said.
