One airline is offering Covid tests for Rs 299 to get people flying
One airline in India has hit upon a new way to make a bit of extra money while encouraging people back on planes — sell them Covid-19 tests.
SpiceJet NSE -1.76 % Ltd., India’s second-largest carrier, is offering coronavirus screening to passengers for as little as Rs 299 rupees ($4). That’s about one-third the current market rate. SpiceHealth, the unit selling the tests, has also set up mobile-testing facilities for the general public in Mumbai and New Delhi, where starting from Rs 499, people can come in or have a sample collected from their home.
