The sentence above uses "a flight from South Africa" twice and it seems to me that the second "a flight from South Africa" can or should be removed, because "where the Omicron..." would still clearly refer back to South Africa after the removal (no one would mistakenly infer "where" to desembarking process). I am not absolutely sure.
Should the second "a flight from South Africa" be removed to make it terse?

Yes, it's poorly written. That magazine (Nature) is full of such sloppy writing. They need to pay their copy editors better salaries or employ more-competent ones!

"A passenger from South Africa, where the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant was first reported, is tested for COVID-19 at Schipol Airport in Amsterdam after disembarking."

It could be copy and paste given the repetition.

It's probably some kind of pasting error. The two coloured phrases should be the other way round, of course. I imagine that the red phrase somehow accidentally got copied into the wrong position, leaving an incomplete phrase (minus the from) in the original position.
