Airline major IndiGo on Saturday operated its maiden passenger charter to Vietnamese capital Hanoi, and Laos' Vientiane to help stranded nationals get back home.

"The flight from India repatriated 106 Vietnamese, 1 Filipino and 29 Laos nationals along with 89 Indian citizens," the airline said in a statement.
