Ministry of Civil Aviation & DIAL Launch AIR SUVIDHA 2.0 Portal for Ebola Health Screening
The Ministry of Civil Aviation and Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) launched AIR SUVIDHA 2.0 on June 25, 2026, an upgraded contactless Passenger Health Self-Declaration Portal designed to strengthen public health surveillance at Points of Entry in India. This launch is a direct response to the ongoing Ebola/Bundibugyo virus disease outbreak, following the World Health Organization's declaration of the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on May 17, 2026 under the International Health Regulations (IHR) 2005.
Developed in collaboration with the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, the portal enables international arriving passengers to submit a mandatory online Health Self-Declaration form covering 21-day travel history, exposure history, and related symptoms prior to immigration clearance. The system facilitates real-time data sharing with multiple agencies including the Airport Health Officer, Bureau of Immigration, IDSP, and State Surveillance Officers, enabling swift identification and referral of at-risk travelers while maintaining a contactless arrival experience with no physical forms required upon landing.
International travelers can complete the Airsuvidha Self Declaration Form (SDF) up to 24 hours in advance of their arrival in India, with passengers encouraged to fill the forms before boarding or during web check-in for faster clearance upon arrival. The downloaded SDF only needs to be shown at the International Travel Health Desk or Immigration counter. The upgraded AIR SUVIDHA 2.0 introduces fully contactless and paperless health self-declaration processes, representing a significant upgrade from previous systems.
The portal is accessible at https://airsuvidha.civilaviation.gov.in/ and all international travelers are requested to complete their Self-Declaration accurately and in advance in the interest of passenger safety and public health protection.
