Some foreign airlines have already carried out evacuation flights and are planning to operate more flights. These flights will also take foreign nationals”.
Thee 75 flights will go to New York, Newark, Chicago, Washington, San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto and a few other selected destinations. The airlines further mentioned to the public on their Twitter handle that they are charging only one-third the amount to the US, whereas other international air carriers are charging up to Rs 3 Lakh for a single seat.
