The cost of tickets will have to be borne by the passengers themselves and air tickets will be issued by the airline to short listed persons. All passengers are required to confirm acceptance of all conditions of travel, including quarantine requirements in India as well as health requirements in order to board the flight.

The Embassy will make further announcements relating to additional flights to India as and when these are scheduled. Since there are a large number of requests which have been received by the Embassy, it would not be possible to accommodate all requests immediately, the Embassy said in a statement.
