New Delhi: National carrier Air India Ltd has been strictly adhering to all rules and protocols for flight operations and only passengers with covid-19 negative reports are being allowed to board from India, a spokesperson of the airline said on Monday.
The response from the airline comes a day after Hong Kong’s civil aviation watchdog, Civil Aviation Department (CAD), temporarily suspended national carrier’s operations to the city state after passengers on-board the carrier traveling to the region tested positive for covid-19. Air India’s operations to Hong Kong will now remain suspended for a fortnight up to 3 October.
“Passengers travelling to Hong Kong need to have a covid negative test report conducted 72 hours prior to the scheduled time of departure as per requirement by the Hong Kong authorities.
