699 Singapore citizens and residents who are registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs safely returned from India to Singapore on 10 and 11 April 2020. Due to the national lockdown across India, many of them had to travel from surrounding states to reach the airports in New Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai where the chartered flights operated. The Singapore High Commission in New Delhi, Singapore Consulate-General in Mumbai, and the Singapore Consulate-General in Chennai coordinated the evacuation and ground operations in India.
The Singapore Government would like to express gratitude to the Indian government for facilitating the safe return of our Singapore residents.
The returning passengers will serve a 14-day self-isolation at dedicated Stay-Home Notice (SHN) facilities upon arrival in Singapore.
