Mumbai airport sets up 24×7 RT-PCR testing facility to test international passengers
After the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) allowed arriving international passengers to get tested for Covid-19, Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) has set up a 24×7 express Covid-19 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test facility.
The test would cost around Rs 1,600 and the results will be available within eight hours. The airport operator, Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) has advised passengers to book their onward flight only after a gap of 8-12 hours. The MIAL will also make the facility available for departing passengers.
Passengers will be able to register on www.suburbandiagnostics.com. The airport operator has set up a helpdesk at the arrival terminal for RT-PCR test enrollments.
