December 09: The organisers of biannual Aero India has recently confirmed that they would go ahead with the show that is scheduled to be held in February. Although, as scheduled in June 20201, Paris Air Show was put to hold given the pandemic crisis.
The guidelines drawn for the international participants state that citizens who want exemption from quarantine are required to submit a covid test report conducted within 72 hours prior to going for the journey. Visitors from countries experiencing second covid wave are asked to undergo test when they land in India and will also have to submit their travel history.
A document has been issued for the Aero India 2021 which shows silver lining to the organisers to conduct the silver jubilee edition of the biannual airshow as covid vaccines are now available.
