Kayak has a searcheable website that shows the most updated status of entry restriction from all destinations to all destinations. The C19 test from UK to India appears to have been lifted on November 22, hence the delay in updating the airlines. Airline staff are usually the last to know. https://www.kayak.com/travel-restrictions?origin=AU
It’s shocking and disgraceful that the USA is together with Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Angola, Ghana and Libya, in not allowing the unvaccinated to visit. Even China allows unvaccinated travellers in some cases.
Air India have always been the most bureaucratic of airlines
Did you look at other airlines flying to India?
My hunch is that Air India will be the last to implement changes but will be more likely to respond rapidly to someone stating ‘Airlines A, B, C, your competitors, don’t require this, why do you?’ than just referring to a change in New Delhi’s regulations.
I can confirm that, although Cambodi
a states you don’t need to be vaccinared to travel there, getting a Cambodian e-visa still required the UK NHS ‘proof’, a couple of weeks ago. And required masks on incoming (and outgoing) flights. No tests. But Singapore Airlines seemed content with chin warmers although stewardesses continue to wear them. Inside Cambodia, mask wearers are scarce. Maybe this will help someone.
The only way around this is for people to blacklist all airlines and countries that insist on these tests.
