Singapore-India scheduled flights to resume, as travel lane beckons

Singapore Airlines will operate daily flights under a quarantine-free travel scheme between Singapore and three major cities in India, marking the first scheduled flights between both countries in nearly two years. The move comes as Singapore adds India to a growing list of countries under the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) scheme. Under the arrangement, fully-vaccinated travellers need not serve mandatory quarantine if they fly into Singapore on designated flights and take a pre-departure and post-arrival coronavirus test. India also opened its international borders for fully-vaccinated visitors, after shutting them amid the coronavirus virus. Releasing its schedules for VTL flights to India, SIA says its first flight will resume on 29 November. From 30 November, the airline will also ramp up capacity into other Indian cities, though these do not fall under the VTL scheme. <br/>
