IndiGo hit turbulence as the airline has now been barred from operating flights to United Arab Emirates (UAE) for a week till August 24.

Reports quoting sources said that the domestic airline had allowed passengers who did not undergo a rapid-PCR Covid test at the time of departure.

IndiGo, in its statement, said all flights to UAE were cancelled due to operational issues.

UAE has eased entry restrictions but passengers are required to undergo a RT-PCR test 48 hours before departure and another rapid-PCR test at the airport a few hours before the flight.
