We just got word that Air Canada is planning a ferry flight to New Delhi:
Air Canada is trying to plan a ferry flight to India from Toronto. As soon as their head quarter approves and the relevant clearances are obtained from the government of India, they will let us know.
This may take one or two days as informed. We will let you know once the ferry flight is announced.
Note the ferry flight is only to Toronto and only for Canadians.
I signed up for announcements from the Consular Services at the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi. They shared that they're working on it as well.
Given the current situation, we are working hard to facilitate commercial flights to land in India to repatriate Canadians seeking to return to Canada. While the imposition of the lockdown makes this complicated, rest assured that it is our top priority and our teams are working around the clock with the local authorities and service providers. While we cannot confirm any specific travel options at the time of sending you this message, we encourage you to remain ready to depart India on short notice in case travel options do become available.
We also recommend staying in close contact with your travel agency and monitoring commercial flight availability online. If flights are offered, you will need to purchase them directly through the respective service providers) If we learn of any new information regarding international or domestic commercial flights, we will share it via this ROCA email service and social media (@CanadainIndia on Twitter and Facebook).
Despite this kind offer, we are still comfortable with our decision to stay here. It did make us reconsider and is much as we would like to see friends and family, it seems like the smart thing to do is to stay here.
