The 180 flights are scheduled from July 22 to August 21, 2020. People will be able to fly to and from five destinations of USA having a connection to and from Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kochi, Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
It is worth noting that last month, the US Department of Transportation (DoT) had said that it would restrict charter flights from India. The department also accused New Delhi of engaging in "discriminatory and restrictive practices".
Following the announcement, the Civil Aviation Ministry stated that it has received requests from several countries, including the US, France and Germany for allowing their airlines to participate in the transportation of passengers along the line being conducted by Air India under the Vande Bharat Mission and that the ministry was examining the requests.
Under the Vande Bharat Mission, Air India along with several other domestic private carriers are allowed to operate flights. The ticket prices are pre-fixed ticket charges under this mission and the fourth phase began on July 3 to bring back Indians stranded abroad amid the pandemic.
