New Delhi Authorities on Wednesday issued a show-cause notice to Indian full-service carriers like Air India and Vistara for not following the guidelines for international arrivals issued by the Centre Govt. amid the concern of Omicron variant of coronavirus.

As per the notice issued by Delhi authorities, a total of 4 international passengers 1 in Air India and 3 from Vistara, were allowed to board international flights to India without filling their self-declaration forms (SDF).

It is worth mentioning here that the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Ministry (MoCA) Govt of India has mandated contactless self-declaration at Air Suvidha Portal for all passengers arriving in India.

All airlines operating in India are instructed to allow only those international passengers to board their flights who have filled up their personal details on the Air Suvidha portal and uploaded the negative RT-PCR test report.
