With the view of ferrying his stranded family members by avoiding the crowd at the airport and in the aircraft amid the lockdown and COVID-19 outbreak, an Indian businessman has hired a private aircraft to transport his family members from Bhopal to Delhi. 

The businessman has been identified as Jagdeesh Arora, who is a liquor baron and owns Som Distilleries. His daughter, two grandchildren, and their maid were stranded at Bhopal, and to get them back to Delhi, he hired an Airbus A320 aircraft on Wednesday. 

The aircraft, which can carry 180 people, took off from Delhi at 9.30 am on Wednesday with the crew members. It landed in Bhopal at around 10.30 am and after the four got on board the 180 seater aircraft, it again took off from Bhopal at 11.30 am to Delhi through which the baron accomplished his mission of rescuing his family members with no trouble or hindrance while thousands are still finding hope to reach their home states.

According to the reports, the businessman would have thrown Rs 25 to 30 lakh to ferry four people from Bhopal and Delhi. Hiring such a huge aircraft for four people had raised many eyebrows and erupted quaeres on the need of hiring a 180 seater aircraft for transporting four people. 

His purpose could have been fulfilled even by a small chartered aircraft and having more options, he finally hired an A320 aircraft which, if unhired, could have carried more people, who have no options, to their home states. 

The Central government has resumed the civil aviation services from Monday after being shut for two months and the flights have been getting operated with various guidelines. 

This businessman has rented the whole aircraft for his family amid the gradual resumption of the transportation channels, which has been aiding the stranded people to return to their home states with several restrictions and protocols and many have been under perplexity on their travel with unconfirmed and deferment of their travel schedules and this 180-seater special aircraft has ferried four people when the migrant workers are struggling to return to their homes by walking thousands of kilometers.
