The Rapid PCR testing facility established by Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) at its international terminal has turned out to be a boon for passengers travelling to the UAE. A total of 146 passengers travelled to the UAE after undergoing tests at the airport on Monday, said a communication from CIAL. The passengers left by Etihad flight EY247 at 8.15 a.m. The test is mandatory to enter the Gulf country and the CIAL facility gives out the result in less than half an hour. Though the ban on international air travel is effective till July 31 due to the outbreak of the second wave of the pandemic, a special arrangement made between India and some countries permits passengers to fly to some international sectors through air bubble operations.More Related News
