After SpiceJet, IndiGo to offer Covid-19 test for passengers

After SpiceJet, IndiGo became the second airline to tie up with a healthcare firm to enable passengers to book reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test while booking flight tickets. The chargeable service will be available for both international and domestic passengers. The service will be available at some airports outside the country too, including the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

The move will ensure hassle-free travel experience for the passengers and will also provide exemption from quarantine to passengers (as per respective laws of the country/state).

The facilitator of the test is Stemz Healthcare, which is the largest aggregator of ICMR-approved laboratories for RT-PCR test in India.
