SpiceJet said on Sunday that one of its pilots who did not fly any international flight in March has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The last domestic flight that he operated was on March 21 from Chennai to Delhi and since then he had quarantined himself at home. The airline is now undergoing a contact tracing exercise to establish how many people he came in contact with.
As a precautionary measure, all crew and staff who had been in direct contact with him have been asked to self-quarantine by staying at home for the next 14 days. All measures are being taken to provide appropriate medical care to him. Safety of our passengers and employees is our topmost priority,” the airline said.
