Iata calls for simple, predictable and practical measures to ramp up international air travel

The global representative body of the airline industry, the International Air Transport Association (Iata), has just published a new policy paper. Titled “From Restart to Recovery: A Blueprint for Simplifying Travel”, it sets out the industry’s position regarding the measures that need to be taken to ramp-up international commercial air travel as countries reopen their borders, closed in attempts to curb the Covid-19 pandemic. In it, Iata calls for governments to adopt procedures that are simple, predictable and practical. “Travel is important,” highlighted Iata deputy director-general Conrad Clifford. “Pre-pandemic, some 88-million livelihoods were directly connected to aviation. And the ability to travel freely by air has impacted the quality of life for billions of people.”
