Covid-19: Vaccinated Indian expats appeal for UAE return Saman Haziq/Dubai Reuters With flight ban till June 14 and charter flights out of bounds, vaccinated residents seek exemption to return. Fully-vaccinated expats stuck in India have made an urgent plea to UAE authorities to let them return. With the flight ban now extended to June 14 and charter flights (the only option to return to the UAE) from India restricted only for specific categories, vaccinated residents appealed to UAE authorities to add them to this category to allow them to return. “I would sincerely like to request the UAE government to please start the flights from India to UAE at least for fully vaccinated people,” said Dubai resident Shikha Rath, who got vaccinated before rushing to India on May 21 following the death of her father due to Covid-19. “I came to India last week owing to my mother’s critical health condition. I have lost my father recently and my mother was left absolutely alone. She started getting sick and was unable to recover. I left everything and came to be with her and I’m glad I did that. It has been just four days since I came and she has recovered fully.”
