UAE: Charter flight operators clarify India travel rules

UAE: Charter flight operators clarify India travel rules

Demand for private or business jets is on the rise since the suspension of air travel between India and the UAE. Since April 25, some high net worth business travellers and their families have made the return journey to the UAE, according to private jet operators and travel agents.

It is not immediately clear if regular stranded residents can pool resources and book a business jet. This form of travel had gained massive popularity among stranded Indian travellers last year after India closed all its scheduled international air operations.

Passenger entry from India to the UAE, one of the world’s busiest air corridors, was suspended on April 25 as Covid-19 cases in India reached record highs.
