After External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's intervention, the Aviation Ministry is mobilising additional flights for the Indians stuck in the country.
The aviation ministry is planning to introduce biometric screening at airports to help passengers enter just by flashing their thumbs, instead of presenting valid IDs along with tickets.
Rajiv Nayan Choubey, the Civil Aviation Secretary, announced on Wednesday that air passengers might soon be able to enjoy WiFi connection on board flights, and the government is working on a solution for the same.
