Event: We advise U.S. persons interested in returning to the United States that Air India has announced additional commercially operated evacuation flights departing from India to international destinations, including the United States, to evacuate stranded Indian citizens. U.S. persons are eligible to travel on these flights. We understand from an update Air India posted recently on social media that the flights to the United States will depart on June 5 and 6. Tickets for the flights will be available for purchase on the Air India website the morning of Saturday, May 30. Interested travelers should contact Air India directly regarding these flights, not the U.S. Embassy or consulates.
There are no further U.S. government charter flights scheduled or planned to evacuate U.S. persons from India at this time. We urge U.S. persons wishing to return to the United States to strongly consider available commercial flight options.
