Fliers from the Delhi National Capital Region, Goa, Rajasthan and Gujarat, who arrive at the Pune airport without a Covid negative report after a RT-PCR test, will have to shell out Rs 1,600 to conduct the test at Pune Airport, said officials with the Airports Authority of India on Tuesday.
As per the new protocol released by the Maharashtra government, AAI officials at airports located in these four states are required to check that the fliers boarding for airports in Maharashtra have undergone a RT-PCR Covid-19 test, and tested negative for it, at least 72 hours prior to their arrival at the airport in Maharashtra. In case they fail to produce the test report while boarding, they will have to mandatorily undergo the test at the arriving airport at their own cost.
