Another Air India flight carrying stranded Indians is scheduled to land in Delhi today.
Amid much chaos and confusion on the evacuation of Indian nationals from war-torn Ukraine, the first Air India flight carrying around 300 citizens took off from Romania. The flight will land in Mumbai at around 6:30 pm. This is the first flight from the former Soviet republic to India after the Russia-Ukraine crisis escalated into a full-blown invasion. It was earlier scheduled to land in Mumbai at 4 pm.
NDTV has accessed exclusive pictures and videos from inside the aircraft. In one of the video clips, an Indian official can be heard reassuring students that their mission will not be complete if even one Indian citizen is left behind. Over the flight's public address system, he urges those who are in touch with other Indians who are still in Ukraine to call and reassure them that the government of India is making all possible efforts to get them back.

Since the Ukrainian airspace has been closed for civil aircraft operations since the morning of February 24, the evacuation flights will operate out of neighbouring countries.
