One of the last air links between two key Asian financial hubs has been severed, with Hong Kong banning Singapore Airlines Ltd.’s budget carrier Scoot from flying to the city for two weeks after passengers tested positive for Covid on arrival.
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines services from Amsterdam are also prohibited from Feb. 21 to March 6, Hong Kong’s Department of Health said in a statement Monday evening. The ban was imposed after a passenger on a Feb. 18 flight tested positive on arrival in Hong Kong, while two others failed to comply with travel requirements.
