Earlier on Tuesday, the authorities in the UAE imposed a temporary ban on IndiGo flights till August 24. The authorities took this decision after finding that the air carrier took passengers who had not undergone a rapid-PCR test at the departure airport.
As per the guidelines issued by UAE, all passengers from India are required to undergo a RT-PCR test 48 hours before departure and another rapid PCR test at the airport a few hours before the flight. Passengers also need an approval letter from UAE authorities for travel. Airline check-in staff at the airport are required to check the test reports before accepting passengers. The documents are also checked upon arrival in the UAE.
