The Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday said that at least 1197 flights had been scheduled in Phase 4 of India’s Vande Bharat Mission to bring back stuck Indians from abroad. Flights are being operated across 29 countries by Air India, Air India Express IndiGo, SpiceJet, as well as GoAir.

“In phase 4 of Vande Bharat Mission, 1197 flights have been scheduled so far, including 945 international flights & 252 feeder flights. These flights are operated by Air India group, IndiGo, SpiceJet & GoAir. They covered 29 countries. They’ll be reaching 34 airports in India,” MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said in a press briefing.

Flights to Europe

Currently, only Air India and Air France fly from India to Europe. The Air India has scheduled 7 flights from India to London from July 26th to the 30th. The airline also has 18 flights planned to Paris, 24 to Frankfurt, and 2 to Amsterdam until 31st August.

Air France will operate 28 flights until July 31st, connecting Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore to Paris. However, passengers can book connecting flights with Air France, giving them access to all of Europe.
Air France is charging one-way flights between India and Paris for Rs. 33,190 ($445), with the cost rising for connecting flights. This fare is quite similar to the common one-way charge for direct European flights, although prices may drop when Lufthansa starts flights.

Air India is pricing its European routes higher at Rs.39,970 ($535) for a one-way flight. These prices also show a 25% drop from original fares, as competition increases on these routes.
