An Air India flight carrying 323 Indians and seven Maldivians from coronavirus-stricken Wuhan touched down in New Delhi on Sunday morning. It’s the second time Indian citizens were airlifted from China since the outbreak.
“The second flight from #Wuhan has just landed in #Delhi. We wish all those on board good health in the days ahead,” tweeted Vikram Misri, Indian ambassador to China, extending gratitude to Beijing for greenlighting the evacuation.
It was the second time an Air India Boeing 747 has flown to the Chinese city at the epicenter of the deadly outbreak to rescue stranded Indians, many of whom are medical students at a local university.
On Saturday, the first such flight arrived in New Delhi with 324 people, bringing the total number of Indian evacuees to 657. This time, however, seven foreigners – citizens of the Republic of Maldives – were also transported.
