The international travel restrictions imposed on March 25 made it challenging for the stranded Indians overseas to return to the country. In April, following their requests, the civil aviation ministry started the international repatriation flights under VBM

The mission was aimed at giving a chance to people who were stranded overseas due to pandemic restrictions to come back to the country. Nearly all airlines such as Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet, GoAir, Vistara and others have flown under this mission

The airlines in India typically take aircraft from lessors (on lease) who are based overseas. IndiGo, for instance, has over 200 planes on lease, and so is the case with other airlines like SpiceJet, GoAir, Vistara and Air India

The airline is now the world's seventh biggest by capacity and the largest outside the United States and China, according to data firm OAG

It is learnt that 1,50,000 doses of Covisheild vaccine, manufactured by the Serum Institute of India (SII), were sent to Bhutan and 1,00,000 doses reached Maldives as part of India's grant assistance

In the first phase, which started from January 13, the airline transported a total of 7,20,000 doses to five destinations.

Exercise of dispatching vaccines will continue till Wednesday, which will cover cities like Patna, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Vijayawada and Guwahati

The national carrier informed that those who were scheduled to travel from the said countries can avail a one-time free rescheduling of travel arrangements by December 31

The company is recommending every staffer be tested weekly, although it is not mandatory

The two Indian carriers were the early adopters of these fuel-efficient engines with IndiGo inducting its first A320NEO plane in the fleet in March 2016 and GoAir in the same year, in June

As per DGCA data, 63.54 lakh domestic passengers travelled by air in November, which was 20.54 per cent higher than the air passenger traffic recorded last month

GoAir flight G8 1305, which took off from Chennai on Tuesday afternoon with 160 passengers, did an air turn back due to no clearance to land at Port Blair airport

This is, however, an improvement from the air passenger traffic seen in September when 39.43 lakh fliers travelled via air. This means a 33.67 per cent month-on-month increase in air passenger traffic

Aviation Ministry clarified that its previous order dated September 2, 2020, regarding opening of domestic flight operations and fare bands will remain in effect till February 24, 2021, or until further orders
