<p>Repatriations from India is one of our largest Covid-19 repatriation operations,
based on the number of Britons there and the absence of commercial options. The scale
of the challenge is immense. As all of India is under lockdown, we continue to engage
with state authorities to enable British Nationals (BN) to reach airports.</p><p>As
of 5 May, we have chartered 52 flights from 11 Indian cities including Delhi, Goa,
Mumbai and others in Punjab, Gujarat and Bengal. Over 12,000 people have returned
home on UK charter flights and we continue to work day and night to return more on
daily flights from across India. The UK Government has arranged a fifth round of special
charter flights departing from Amritsar from 5 May to 11 May.</p>
