“The pandemic needs to be treated as an endemic disease. The first priority must be to reopen borders, allowing the free flow of air travel without quarantine by managing it through testing and vaccination,” Philip Goh, International Air Transport Association regional vice-president for Asia Pacific, told“We urge governments to adopt IATA’s blueprint for safe reopening by implementing simple, predictable, and practical measures,” he added.
The government and the airline companies should also ensure that COVID-19 measures are “proportionate to the risk levels with a continuous review process.” Anthony Oundjian, managing director and senior partner at Boston Consulting Group, said “simple rules, streamlined, and stress-free experience” are needed to get more people traveling again.
