COMPANIES BEAR PCR TEST COSTS; TICKET PRICES EXPECTED TO RISE

  • 16/02/2021

Kuwait City :As airlines prepare to implement the ministry's decision to conduct PCR tests for all travelers entering the country, there are indications that the cost of tickets will go up significantly as companies bear the cost. Some of the companies are currently planning to offer packages that suit the needs of the travelers with better offers. But the lack of a clear mechanism to ensure that passengers book hotels in the country for institutional quarantine purposes is reportedly confusing airlines.

Until yesterday, airlines had not received any new information from Civil Aviation about the continuing or increasing number of passengers arriving in the country, officials said. At the same time, Abdul Rahman al-Kharafi, a member of the Federation of Tourism and Travel Bureau, said that they do not need subsidies or loans from the government and that the sector is facing losses and threats due to government decisions presented regardless of the economic and social aspects of the employers in the travel sector and therefore should be allowed to work.
