COVID-19: Singapore, Hong Kong delay launch of air travel bubble

IMPACT – HIGH

Singapore and Hong Kong have postponed the implementation of an “air travel bubble” that will allow for quarantine-free travel between the two locations.

Key Points:

• The travel bubble was set to be launched Sunday, but has been pushed back at least two weeks.
• A new date for the first air bubble flights will be announced in early December.

Analysis & Comments: Travelers who wish to travel between Singapore and Hong Kong should take note of the delayed implementation and adjust their plans accordingly. Deloitte will provide updates on the travel bubble’s implementation as information becomes available.
