India charter flight to Darwin could go ahead despite travel ban

The office of NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner says there is the potential for a repatriation flight on May 6 to go ahead from India to Darwin. The new arrivals would then spend two weeks in the Howard Springs quarantine facility. The National Security Committee is expected to impose a ban on all commercial flights from India after an emergency meeting was convened this morning to address the nation's escalating COVID-19 crisis. There are currently up to 9,000 stranded Australians which are registered with DFAT in India and Sky News understands repatriation flights from the country will continue but remain limited.
