The UAE has suspended all passenger flights from India with effect from 11.59pm on April 24, authorities confirmed on Thursday evening.
The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Emergency Management Authority (NCEMA) have announced the suspension of all inbound flights for national and international carriers coming from India, WAM reported.
The preventive measures for them include a 10-day quarantine period and PCR tests on arrival at the airport as well as on the fourth and eighth days after entering the country.
Also, they must carry negative reports of PCR tests taken within 48 hours, (instead of 72 or 96 hours) prior to the departure from accredited laboratories that issue the QR Code for the original test reports.
