A special SriLankan Airlines flight left this morning to New Delhi to bring back 305 Sri Lankan nationals stranded in India.

The flight UL 1191 departed at around 9.00am this morning while another flight is expected to leave for Chennai at around 1.35am today.

SriLankan Airlines and Mihin Lanka last week arranged a special flight to bring back a group of 120 pilgrims who were stranded in the Buddhist holy city of Bodh Gaya (Buddha Gaya) due to the floods that have ravaged parts of India.

The Airbus A320 aircraft flown by budget carrier Mihin Lanka had arrived in Bodh Gaya on the morning of Sunday (6), before returning to Colombo after around 3 ½ hours.
