As the coronavirus
outbreak continues to spread, Air India is awaiting a government decision on
whether to move the jet to evacuate Indians in China already.
Air India has kept a Boeing 747 jet, 423 seater double decker jumbo
aircraft with 12 crew members has been put on standby for the evacuation of
Indians ( including medical students) in China's Wuhan city where the
coronavirus outbreak has already claimed the lives of 81 people and the
administration has shut down the entire city to prevent the spreading of the
virus.
US and Japan are
also evacuating its citizens. We also wrote to PMO on 25th to
evacuate the Indian Citizens including the medical students.
Points
being resolved
1.
No crew
member gets infected in the process
2.
Full-body
protection kits are being made available to them
3.
Prevent
aircraft becoming a carrier of the virus.
