Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) has set up a special corridor for Indian students arriving in Mumbai from Ukraine at 8 pm on Saturday, according to ANI. The evacuated students will arrive by an Air India flight.

“In light of the current crisis in Ukraine, CSMIA is extending full support to the evacuation of the stranded Indian students who are arriving in Mumbai today by AI1944 at ETA 20:00 hours,” said the spokesperson of CSMIA.

According to the spokesperson, the airport has blocked a special corridor for the passengers arriving. Mandatory temperature checks will be conducted by the Airport Health Organization (APHO) team as per guidelines issued by the Government of India. Passengers arriving would be required to either present a negative RT-PCR test or a COVID-19 vaccination certificate.

After testing negative, passengers will be permitted to leave the airport. Those who test positive will be clinically assisted as per government protocols.
