System error on portal, it shows old advisory: Maha

While Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) said information on the Air Suvidha portal asking “all” international arrivals in Mumbai — and not just those from at-risk countries — to pre-book the RT-PCR test “is not correct”, Delhi Airport operator (DIAL), which maintains the portal, cited a “latest advisory” from Maharashtra for it.

New Delhi/Mumbai: The state advisory says not just at-risk arrivals, but “passengers from any other country… will have to compulsorily undergo RT-PCR test at the (Mumbai) airport on arrival.”

State government officials said this is a “system error.” The web portal is still reflecting an old order, which has been revised and most of these requirements have been done away with, said an official. The Maharashtra government on November 30 issued an order seeking all international travellers to take an RT-PCR test on arrival and also required fully vaccinated domestic travelers to carry an RT-PCR negative report. However, after a snub from the Centre, the state-issued revised guidelines on December 2 doing away with these conditions.
