India: Ukraine Crisis, 1st Indian Air Force Flight With 200 Indians Lands In Delhi

NEW DELHI, 03 March 2022, (TON): sources said “the Indian Air Force's first evacuation flight with 200 Indians from Romanian capital Bucharest landed at the Hindon air base.”

The first flight which was conducted using C-17 military transport aircraft landed in Delhi at 1.30 am.

Sources said “three more C-17 aircraft of the Indian Air Force with approximately 300 evacuees from Ukraine will land at the Hindon airbase.”

India has been evacuating its citizens through special flights from Ukraine's western neighbours such as Romania, Hungary and Poland as the Ukrainian airspace has been shut since February 24 due to the Russian military offensive.

Sources said “the IAF planes are also coming from these neighbouring countries.”

They said “Minister of State for Defence Ajay Bhatt received the Indian evacuees of the first C-17 flight at the airbase.”
