As flights restarted in India today after two months because of the coronavirus lockdown, a little boy in Bengaluru airport carrying a “special category” ticket was among the most heartwarming sights of the day.
Five-year-old Vihaan Sharma travelled alone from Delhi, and walked into the arms of his overjoyed mother at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport. He travelled as a special category passenger.
“My five-year-old son Vihaan has travelled alone from Delhi, he has come back to Bengaluru after three months,” his mother told news agency ANI, holding Vihaan, dressed in all-yellow with a matching mask, and blue gloves.
Domestic flights operated on Monday for the first time since late-March, when the country went into lockdown to break the chain of coronavirus. Many were stuck in cities they were visiting when all flights were stopped.
Till 9 am today, Bengaluru airport had five flights in and 17 departures. Vihaan’s flight was among them. Nine flights were cancelled.
Welcome home, Vihaan! #BLRairport is constantly working towards enabling the safe return of all our passengers. https://t.co/WJghN5wsKw
