BRAND-NEW DELHI: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has informed
Air India
that transportation of
passengers
— whether UAE nationals or not– to the emirates on the repatriation
Vande Bharat Objective
(VBM)
flights
is not permitted. And that if any one wishes to fly on a VBM flight from India to Dubai, she or he will need “specific approval from the Embassy of UAE in New Delhi and UAE ministry of foreign affairs and global cooperation (MOFAIC),” said an Air India representative on Wednesday after getting a response from UAE on the problem.
Meanwhile, a major UAE provider on Wednesday looked for India’s nod to run charters– where its airplanes will fly with just team to India and take guests from here– as Dubai has actually permitted foreign nationals holding residency visas provided in Dubai to go back to the emirate from Monday (June 22).
