Singapore to progressively extend vaccinated travel lane flights to India
Singapore's civil aviation regulator plans
to progressively extend Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) flights to more cities in India.
India and Singapore agreed to
resume passenger flights from November 29 under an air transport bubble
agreement. Air India, IndiGo, Singapore Airlines
and Vistara have announced flights between the two countries.
According to this agreement 6 daily VTL flights would be operated
from Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai to Singapore allowing
vaccinated passengers quarantine free travel. Passengers travelling from other
cities on a non-VTL flight have to undergo a 7-day quarantine at the declared
place of accommodation in Singapore.
“Singapore takes a cautious and step-by-step approach in reviving air travel. For
India, we have launched a VTL for travellers from Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai for
a start. Pre-COVID, these three cities presented strong travel demand. We will
extend the VTL to more cities in India progressively,”
Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said in an email response.
“Regardless of their first point of departure, eligible travellers
travelling on VTL flights and entering Singapore do not need to serve
quarantine, as long as they meet the travel history requirement of the VTL,”
CAAS added.
Singapore Airlines group is operating non-VTL flights to
Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi and Trichy and these services will
resume between November 30-December 2. Flights to Amritsar will start from
January 31 and these would be operated by low cost arm Scoot.
