In a recent advisory to travel agents, Air India released some new directives for pre-flight registration of people travelling from UAE to India. According to a Khaleej Times report, Air India stated that passengers will now have to fill out details on the Air Suvidha portal or the New Delhi airport portal, wherever applicable.
Pre-registration documents include health declaration forms and other formalities of the state the passenger is travelling to prescribes. This is being done in order to avoid crowding at check-in counters ahead of departure or arrival in India.
Another thing to remember Travellers will have to take two COVID-19 PCR tests, one before departure with a validity of 96 hours from the date of the test, and a second test upon arrival in Dubai.
