London Biggin Hill Airport offers Covid testing to reduce mandatory quarantine times

摘要

Business aviation advocates in Europe have repeatedly made the case for using short-turnaround Covid testing to replace shifting quarantine restrictions that have continued to suppress demand for flights as the continent has struggled to contain a second wave of infections. This has echoed calls from air transport lobbyists, who, as usual, take precedence in the attention of regulators. In the meantime, frontline service providers have taken the initiative to make testing a viable option for business aircraft passengers and crew. A prime example is London's Biggin Hill Airport, which in mid-November opened its own testing center, where a range of tests are available through specialist contractor G16.
