European aviation industry denounce China Covid tests

Monday, 06 Jan, 2023 0

Airlines have called out the imposition of China Covid tests.

A4E (Airlines for Europe) IATA and ACI EUROPE are united against pre-departure tests for inbound flights from China.

The EU recommended member states require a negative Covid-19 test for passengers from China.

This is at odds with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, they say.

“China Covid tests cannot be considered a scientifically driven measure.”

A4E, ACI EUROPE and IATA support testing wastewater from airports and aircraft instead.

The EU’s recommendation is a ‘knee-jerk’ reaction.

“We urge EU member states and China to work together and reconsider their requirements for pre-departure testing.”
