"Those wanting to come back to Bharat or fly out are more than fed up with Vande Bharat."
Who are these people who are 'fed up?'
Are they the nearly 70,000 people who have returned to India or the more than 17000 who have flown out?

VBM charges ₹13K per passenger on Gulf routes & planes fly empty on one leg. According to information in public domain pvt carriers/charters are charging upwards of ₹20K for same.
The journalist should have cross-checked that while 70K people returned, only 17K odd flew out. Many of the flights are going empty.
Air India is now allowing passengers to book directly online so that the middlemen don't block the seats.
