Hong Kong Bans Flights From Amsterdam, Singapore

(Bloomberg) ― Hong Kong banned Singapore Airlines Ltd.’s budget carrier Scoot from flying to the city for two weeks after passengers tested positive for Covid on arrival, severing one of the last air links between the two key Asian financial hubs.

The city also barred KLM Royal Dutch Airlines services from Amsterdam Feb. 21 to March 6, Hong Kong’s Department of Health said Monday in a statement. 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.
