Day after Dubai barred it for flying Covid patient, AI Express back today
A day after Dubai’s Civil Aviation Authority informed Air India Express that it would not be allowed to fly to its airports for 15 days from Friday after the airline carried a Covid-positive passenger from Jaipur on September 4, the low-cost carrier said it would resume its service to the emirate from Saturday.
Without revealing details of what led to the quick reversal, Air India Express tweeted: “Attention Passengers from/to Dubai! All Air India Express flights from/to Dubai will operate as per original schedule w.e.f tomorrow, September 19,2020.”
According to the Dubai authority, the passenger was allowed to board the flight to Dubai despite carrying a Covid-positive certificate issued by a diagnostic laboratory in Jaipur.
