The Eastern Naval Command has ensured that the joint-user airfield at Visakhapatnam remains open round the clock. The manning of the airfield has been modified to ensure that all requisite safety services and airfield facilities continued to be available. This ensured that all special flights, as well as, the cargo flight of SpiceJet continued its operations unhindered. So far, 15 sorties of the cargo flight have operated since the lockdown has been enforced. Further, the Indian Navy continued to maintain its operational vigil carrying out regular Maritime Surveillance missions by day and night.
