Panaji (Goa) [India], April 5 : As travel has been restricted to prevent coronavirus spread, a relief flight with 150 Spsh and other European passengers will take off from Goa airport to Madrid on Saturday night.

"A relief flight carrying 150 Spsh and EU nationals will take off from Goa International Airport to Madrid tonight," Goa Airport Director Gagan Malik told .

He said that thermal screening of passengers at entry and social distancing will be maintained during check-in at the airport.

"Arrangments have been made for passengers to wait with seats, water and fans before entry to a terminal for check-in as they arrive very early due to obvious reasons," Malik added.
