The advisory also stated that at present regularly scheduled flights of Air Dubai, Fly Dubai, Qatar Airway etc., are operating as scheduled from Ukraine to India and tickets can be booked as per usual from websites, apps, travel agents etc.

 

As the looming threat of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is growing, bringing back Indians from the country safely has become one of the main priorities of the authorities. Air India will operate its first of the three flights to and from Kyiv to bring citizens back home. Air India on Friday tweeted, it will be operating three flights between India and Ukraine on February 22, 24, and 26.

 

Last week, the Ministry of Civil Aviation issued a notification removing the restriction on the number of flights from Ukraine to India under the air bubble agreement on Thursday.

 

On February 15, the Indian embassy in Kyiv had issued an advisory for Indian nationals staying in Ukraine to leave the country temporarily in light of the current situation.

In its advisory, the Embassy had also requested the Indian nationals to inform them about their stay so they can reach them if needed. Though it had clarified that it continues to function normally as of now.
