Airlines Call on the U.S. and U.K. to Lift Pandmenic Travel Restrictions
Airline industry executives on Monday called on the U.S. and the United Kingdom to reopen transatlantic travel.
During a virtual press conference, airline executives said President Biden should lift restrictions on U.K. travelers who can provide a negative COVID-19 test or are fully vaccinated. Most non-U.S. citizens who have been in the U.K. within the last 14 days are barred from traveling to the U.S. under restrictions instituted in March 2020.
The reopening push comes ahead of Biden’s planned visit with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the Group of Seven meeting this week.
