New Delhi: Global airline lobby group The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has urged governments to take data-driven decisions while reopening borders and to do away with quarantine measures to enable restarting of international travel.
“Data can and should drive policies on restarting global travel that manage COVID-19 risks to protect populations, revive livelihoods and boost economies,” IATA’s Director General Willie Walsh said in a statement.
“We call on the G7 governments meeting later this month to agree on the use of data to safely plan and coordinate the return of the freedom to travel which is so important to people, livelihoods and businesses,” he added.
