MUMBAI: Low-cost carrier SpiceJet on Tuesday announced that its passengers in India and UAE can now book online appointments to undergo RT-PCR tests at home. With more countries requiring passengers to produce a Covid negative test report, getting a test done before departure had turned into a pre-flight requisite.
SpiceJet passengers can make a booking using the appointment booking service offered by VFS Global. The airline plans to roll it out for other countries soon.
Dubai recently made it mandatory for arriving passengers, including tourists and UAE residents, to take two Covid tests, one before departure with a validity of 96 hours from the date of test and the other on arrival. One of the early countries to make such tests mandatory for passengers from India was France.
