Reports costly PCR tests for double vaccinated passengers to be scrapped welcome

The APPG for the Future of Aviation has today welcomed reports that PCR tests for passengers who have received both vaccines are set to be scrapped, with its Chair Henry Smith MP stating:

”A decision needs to be made without any further delay because that is what the industry requires.

“It is draconian for the unvaccinated, but I can see where the Government is coming from, that if you want to travel internationally, getting vaccinated is the best thing to do. It doesn’t prevent people from travelling.”
