National, March 6, 2022: In its mission to support repatriation from Ukraine, IndiGo has returned more than 7,180 Indian citizens through 33 flights by Sunday. Another 215 citizens will return to the country on March 7 by another flight from Suceava to Delhi. The airline operated 34 flights, about 52% of the total 64 flights performed by the Government of India as part of Operation Ganga from 28 February to 7 March. The airline performs these missions on A321 aircraft with all safety precautions. Most of these flights carried relief materials during their further voyages, and returned evacuees on the way back via Istanbul.

Citizens were comforted on their return by hot food such as dal chaval, rajma chaval, maggi; fresh candies and sandwiches from Istanbul and a wide selection of snacks including nuts, cookies, chips, supplemented with hot and cold drinks.

Mr. Wolfgang Proc-Schauer, President and Chief Operating Officer of IndiGo said, “We are proud to have brought back more than 7,180 Indian citizens to our repatriation mission from the crisis in Ukraine.
