Captain welcomes passengers onboard India’s first repatriation with a warm message
The Vande Bharat mission commenced on 7th May is flying back hundreds of Indians who have been locked down outside India due to the coronavirus pandemic. Special Air India flights will be operating under one of the biggest repatriation operations to have ever been conducted so as to get these Indians back home.
Captain Anshul Sheoran, the commander of the first evacuation flight under the Government of India’s Vande Bharat Mission, welcomed passengers on board with a warm message. The first flight which operated from Abu Dhabi to Kochi on 7th May had the captain instruct passengers to follow the safety protocol diligently.
While he talks about maintaining necessary sanitary requirements, he introduces the cabin crew who are dresses in PPE’s and while their faces might be hidden with masks, the passengers can rest assured that they are also wearing their smiles under that.
He was proud of being able to be a part of an operation that was helping him bring back fellow Indians back to their home in these difficult times.
He ended his message wishing the passengers a happy reunion with their families.
