Passengers erupted in loud cheers and applause as the charter flight carrying the first batch of Australians who were stuck in India’s coronavirus lockdown touched down in Melbourne. SBSPunjabi

A group of 444 Australians, including 33 infants, who had been stuck in India arrived in Melbourne aboard a Lion Air chartered flight from New Delhi, shortly after 8 pm on Sunday.

“Everything that’s super delightfully and cosmically amazing. The children and the baby talk, the cries were an orchestral synchronised soundscape of entertainment,” said Ms Volpato. "Yeah, that's the next thing on my mind now. There's a Whatsapp group for Sydney residents where we will explore ways to reach our final destination," said Ms Volpato.

He added that the last few days have restored his faith in the “power and ability of the common man.”
