MANGALURU: Timely intervention from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) helped a woman and her six-month-old child board a Mangaluru flight from Kuwait on Saturday evening, which they had almost missed over some confusion regarding Covid protocol.
Aditi Sudesh Nayak and her son Shivansh reached the Kuwait International Airport at 4 pm on Saturday for their 5 pm Air India Express flight. But the airport staff refused to issue the boarding pass for Shivansh for not having a negative RTPCR report. Adithi and her husband, who had come to see them off, were in panic over the development as the hospital staff, where she got her RTPCR report, had told her that kids below two years of age don’t require it for air travel.
