India to Australia flights in January 2021India to Australia flights in January 2021

Are you worried about your loved ones who are stuck in India and cannot find a flight to Australia? If the answer to that question is YES, then there is good news for you and your loved ones. Three flights are being organized to bring those stuck in India to Australia. The flights are scheduled to fly out of Chennai on 14 January, 21 January and 28 January and will arrive in Perth.

Sai Sharnam Pty Ltd T/A Australia India Repatriation Flights (AIRF) is the group behind these 3 private charter flights from Chennai to Perth to help Aussies stuck in India to get back home. The Australian government is looking into all the formalities of approval processes for these flights.

Those Australians who are stuck in India should not only check with people in India for any eligibility issues in India but also should check the requirements in Western Australia, Perth for quarantine and other issues. There may be border restrictions in place for Indians coming to Perth and then taking flights to other states.

The Australian High Commissioner in Delhi Barry O’Farrell tweeted confirming the arrangement and the position of the Australian government in helping to facilitate (not endorse) the arrangement of these flights.
