The Delhi government has filed complaints against four airlines — Indigo, Spice Jet, Vistara and AirAsia — for allegedly carrying passengers from Maharashtra without valid RT-PCR tests. Earlier this month, as the upward climb of cases continued, the government had ordered that a negative RT-PCR report (not older than 72 hours) was mandatory for patients travelling from Maharashtra to Delhi.
The order stated that passengers who are found without a negative report will have to remain in quarantine for 14 days.
“The Delhi government noted that it has been observed that a large number of passengers fly from Maharashtra to Delhi without a valid RT-PCR report,” a statement issued by the government said.
