Five-year-old travels alone from Delhi under ‘special category’

A five year old boy named Vihaan Sharma travelled alone on a flight from Delhi to Bengaluru as domestic flights resumed operation from Monday.

Vihaan was holding a placard that read ‘special category’ at Kempegowda International Airport on Monday, that caught the attention of everyone. Vihaan’s mother said that he had gone to Delhi before the lockdown and could not return as domestic air services were suspended. “He has come back to Bengaluru after three months,” she added. He was sent home as home quarantine was allowed for children below 10 years.

KIA tweeted, “Welcome home, Vihaan! #BLRairport is constantly working towards enabling the safe return of all our passengers.”
