Billionaire Punjabi In Dubai Charters Private Jets To Help Stranded Indians Return Home
Surinder Pal Singh Oberoi, a billionaire Punjabi virtually launched chartered flights to bring distressed compatriots back. 177 people returned to Chandigarh and reunited with their families. Besides, four more flights were lined up in August. Oberoi said the repatriate flights are specifically for low-income workers who have lost their jobs and are running out of money. This also included stranded Indians who came to the country for a vacation, on a budget.
Pregnant women, old, sick and families were given priority. The next line up of scheduled Spicejet flights will carry 177 passengers, on July 13, 19 and 25. Each flight costs between 40-42 lakhs, and this is taken care by Oberoi’s Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust. Oberoi also added that over 75-80 per cent of the people boarding these specially arranged flights are those who are literally left homeless and penniless. Oberoi has also provided shelter homes for them to stay until they are repatriated.
“Five to seven per cent people who travelling in our flights are the stranded tourists who can”t afford to buy the ticket at full price. Then we have passengers who have capacity to bear 10-40 per cent of the ticket cost. Also the airfare of a few travellers is borne by their employers,” he said.
