Passengers who submit false info about health status to face penal action: MoCA guidelines

MUMBAI: Passengers living in containment areas, those who don’t have a smart phone to download the Aarogya Setu app, those who have tested positive for COVID-19 and those who cannot web check-in in advance cannot board the domestic flights which are scheduled to restart on May 25, according to the general instructions issued by the ministry of civil aviation on Thursday. If passengers, who are not permitted to fly undertake a flight by giving false information, they will be liable to face penal action.
Domestic flights will restart after a ban of two months in a changed environment where biosecurity measures to keep the viral transmission low would be high priority. Only one cabin baggage and one check-in bag will be allowed per passenger.
Only one third of the airlines’ summer flight schedule will be permitted on the day of commencement, May 25 and thereafter flights will be added in a calibrated manner.
