SINGAPORE (Bloomberg): Singapore Airlines Ltd. will stop flying transit passengers through Hong Kong from Saturday and budget unit Scoot will suspend transit flights from the end of April following a ban for carrying travelers with Covid-19.
The decision came after Hong Kong tightened regulations on flights arriving with infected passengers, Singapore Airlines said in an emailed statement Friday (April 16).
Hong Kong has criteria for airlines that lead to two-week suspensions if breached, including if passengers fail to follow protocol related to disease control. The city gradually resumed transit flights last June after a halt.
