According to the Times of India, eight luxury jets arrived in the UK a mere minutes before India was put on the country’s ‘red list’ at 4am on April 23. The last of the luxury planes, a 13-seater VistaJet Bombardier Global 6000, had left Dubai to pick up its passengers in Mumbai. The plane arrived at London’s Luton Airport at 3:15am on April 23, just 45 minutes before the travel ban was to come into effect.
