Airline CEOs urge Trump administration,
EU for Covid-19 passenger testing
Leslie Josephs

Several airline CEOs are urging the Trump administration and the
European Commission to back Covid-19 tests for passengers to
help lift bans on many potential travelers between the U.S. and
Europe.

Government travel restrictions bar most would-be travelers from
entering either region, depriving airlines of revenue for what were
some of their most important routes. The CEOs called for a pilot
testing program to “build confidence and safely restore passenger
travel between the U.S. and Europe.”

“In addition to all the significant and unprecedented actions that
governments and airlines are taking to prevent the spread of the
COVID-19 virus, a coordinated COVID-19 testing program could
be key to providing confidence to permit services to resume with-
out quarantine requirements or other entry restrictions,” said the
letter to Vice President Mike Pence and European Commissioner
for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson from the CEOs of American,
United, Germany’s Lufthansa and British Airways’ parent
International Airlines Group.

“Nobody will benefit from a prolonged closure of this most
indispensable corridor for global aviation,” the CEOs wrote.
