The order further said Air India will have to file applications for authorisation for repatriation flights at least 30 days before the date of the proposed flight. It added the US hasn’t placed any limitations on Air India’s charter operations. Air India has been conducting repatriation flights to the US since May 18. The order also accused Air India of using the repatriation charter flights “as a way of circumventing the GoI-imposed prohibition of all scheduled services” since March 25.
