Depending on the variant... yes they can. However, I only mentioned (speculated) US because SG has recently secured rights to fly to the US.
Now with SG struggling financially... I can’t imagine them leasing too many widebodies to fly to multiple countries across the globe at this time. It would be kind of crazy.

Confirmed.
High risk pax with visitor visa are allowed to enter USA with no questions asked (even from India where actual cases are much higher than even USA).
A cousin's neighbour's in-laws (wow , i got it right) travelled last week. Showed symptoms even on pickup at airport. Tested at local CVS very next day.
Results came back 3 days later. Both positive.
Guess if you pass temperature check, no other screening done?
Wonder how many other people they infected during this selfish endeavor
It is not just Trump, USA as a whole seems to have lost common sense when it comes to tackling this virus..

"Frankly, shouldnt be" - cudn't agree more but this is USA. We work hard to be number 1 in everything. "We are winning" (sad)

Yes. Plenty of data points along that line.

And no SG wouldn’t, couldn’t and shouldn’t do a DEL-SEA run. That’s a recipe for disaster.

As someone mentioned before, the DOT would have to approve the wetlease first anyway. Wow from Iceland used to fly DEL-KEF-US with A330s, so if (and thats a BIG IF) SG ever got permission from the DOT, they could do a India-US flight with a tech stop in between. HiFly also has other aircaft that they could provide SG with better range.
Again, all this is only feasible because of the VBM fares, which are far higher than normal. The moment the 'normal' competition resumes, such nonsensical stuff will abruptly end.

I think the SG discussion got a little side tracked. For a million reasons I don't think that SG would actually fly the A330 to the US. The plane is just capable of flying there...
They're probably going to use it for EU/UK runs.
