Covid Travel Update: Due to COVID-19, Hong Kong has temporarily suspended Air India services until April 24. According to reports, three passengers aboard Air India’s AI316 Delhi-Kolkata-Hong Kong flight tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in Hong Kong on April 16. This isn’t the first time an airline has had to deal with a problem like this. Due to the spike in the Omicron, Hong Kong placed a two-week halt on incoming aircraft from eight countries, including India, in January.
Referring to this, Air India stated, “Due to restrictions imposed by the Hong Kong authorities and limited demand on the sector, our flights to Hong Kong and back of 19th and 23rd April stand cancelled.”
