Passengers from all the other cities, except Pune, Mumbai and Chennai, are exempted from RT-PCR report provided they have COVID-19 vaccination proof. If not, RT-PCR negative test report for test conducted within 72hrs of such flight departure at the time of boarding will be applicable.
In April 2021, West Bengal government issued a directive to air passengers coming to the state from Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Chattisgarh to carry report of their RT-PCR negative status conducted 72 hours before boarding the flights.
However, these five states are now on green list, provided a vaccination certificate is shown at the time of boarding.
West Bengal earlier made RT-PCR report mandatory for travellers from four more states including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala and Telegana. In total, passengers travelling from 9 states were needed to produce a negative RT-PCR report in order to enter the state via airport.
