Air India's Vande Bharat Mission flights have been banned from flying to Hong Kong for two weeks starting August 18, according to a report by South China Morning Post.
The Hong Kong authorities cited poor pre-flight Covid-19 testing for taking such a step. According to the report, Hong Kong attributed 11 imported cases from a Delhi-originating Air India flight on August 14 to poor pre-flight Covid-19 testing.
The government moved to suspend the flight for two weeks, from August 18 to 31, by invoking the Prevention and Control of Disease (Regulation of Cross-boundary Conveyances and Travellers) Regulation, the report said.
