MUMBAI: SpiceJet passengers in India and UAE can now undergo Covid-19 RT-PCR at their home by booking an appointment online, said the low cost airline which has tied up with VFS to facilitate this service.
As the Covid-19 negative test report has become mandatory for passengers, especially for international travel, there are rising apprehensions among travellers regarding the entire process of complying with various pre-travel requirements, said the airline. “SpiceJet passengers can book the Covid-19 RT-PCR test using the appointment booking service offered by VFS Global. The Covid-19 RT-PCR test is commonly referred to as the confirmatory test for Covid-19,” it said. The service is currently available for customers in India and the UAE, but the airline said it plans to roll it out for other countries very soon.
