At present, the Gaya airport operates flights to Delhi, Kolkata and Varanasi. All international flights have been suspended since last year in view of the pandemic.
In view of an exponential rise in Covid-19 cases, flyers will now have to produce a negative RT-PCR report at the Gaya international airport.
“Only after showing a negative test report, which has been issued 72 hours before one’s journey, one will be allowed to board flights to Delhi, Maharashtra, Punjab and Kerala. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has issued an order in this regard,” Gaya airport director Dilip Kumar told this reporter on Tuesday.
Similarly, people travelling to Gaya from Delhi, Maharashtra, Punjab and Kerala will also have to show a negative RT-PCR report. They will again be tested for Covid at the Gaya airport and allowed to leave on the basis of the report.
“On reaching Gaya, the flyers will be placed under home quarantine for 10 days,” Dilip said.
