Rich people compete for a seat to escape India Bollywood stars are on vacation

India's covid-19 pandemic is severe, with 362,757 new confirmed cases on April 28, setting another global single-day record. Many rich people have rented private jets to go abroad before other countries have closed customs on India, and the price of one-way tickets for commercial flights has even been speculated about ten times.

The UAE has closed its border on India for 10 days since April 25. According to the grid, one-way tickets for commercial flights from Mumbai, India to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on April 23 and 24 cost up to Rs 80,000, about ten times the usual price. Tickets from New Delhi to Dubai cost more than Rs 50,000, five times the usual price.

In addition to commercial flights, charter services for private jets are also available at a high price. A charter company revealed that there were 12 flights to Dubai on the 24th, and each flight was full. Another company said it received 80 inquiries about flights to Dubai in one day, and the cost of renting a 13-seater plane to Dubai was US$38,000 and a six-seater plane was US$31,000. Many people arrange shared flights in groups, just to win the seat.

Some chose to travel to the UK. At least eight private jets flew from India to Britain in the 24 hours before the British sealed the seal, and the nine-hour voyage was reported to cost more than £100,000.

Bollywood stars come to the Maldives for a holiday. Ranbir Kapoor left India with his girlfriend Alia Bhatt on the 19th, and also posted a photo with a picture caption that reads "The Maldives is calling." Bollywood couples Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff both traveled to the Maldives to soak up the sun and beaches.

Indian novelist Shoba. Shobhaa De criticised the Bollywood stars for not being aware of the plight of others and "enjoying the Maldives in every way." Blessed are you if you can take a break from this bleak moment. But do everyone a favor... Don't make a big announcement. ”
