New Delhi: Airline crew members operating international flights into India also need to submit self-declaration form and be screened. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Monday issued guidelines for such crew members based on a protocol of the health ministry.
“Crew has to fill self-declaration forms, similar to passengers. Crew needs to present self-declaration forms to health authorities and clear health screening at airports (Indian airports on arrival). If a crew arrives in India, with symptoms, the crew has to declare the same to the Airport Health officials (APHO) and follow the isolation protocols as directed by the APHO,” the circular says.
“During the stay in India, if the crew develops any signs/symptoms of COVID-19. they should immediately inform APHO for isolation and testing. The airlines should take the responsibility of monitoring the health of the crew members during their stay at India. If a laboratory positive case of COVID 19 is found in a flight, the entire crew has to be de-rostered for minimum 14 days. The crew need to follow home-isolation during the time at their own country,” says the DGCA circular.
