New Delhi: Two Vistara airline pilots have tested positive for COVID-19 after undergoing flight simulator training.

“Two of our pilots, on returning to duty, unfortunately tested positive for COVID-19 after undergoing some flight simulator training. As part of our contact-tracing efforts, we immediately placed all the direct and secondary contacts in home quarantine,” a Vistara spokesperson was quoted as saying by PTI.

“Pilots who were in direct contact with these two pilots were sent for RT-PCR COVID-19 test. So far, the results of some of the pilots have been found negative while others are pending,” the spokesperson informed.

Vistara have asked the training centre to carry out sanitisation, disinfection and other guidelines as stipulated by the government.

“Vistara is extending all possible support to the two infected pilots and continues to make every effort for the health and safety of its staff and customers that they serve,” the spokesperson added.
