The first Air India chartered flight with 115 passengers from the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) took off Kolkata Airport on Tuesday.

The foreigners remained stranded in Kolkata due to cancellation of all international flights as a preventive measure to contain the spread of COVID19.

Sharing a few images, the Kolkata Airport on its Twitter handle stated that standard procedures were followed and precautions were taken to ensure the safe travel of the foreign passengers amid COVID19 restrictions.

Kolkata Airport tweeted: “#CoronaUpdate: @airindiain charter flight from #KolkataAirport to #Frankfurt took off today with 115 passengers, comprising of EU & UK citizens, on board. Standard procedure followed and precautions taken to assure safe travel amid #COVID19 restrictions.”
