International air travellers will need to be vaccinated against Covid-19 to fly with Australia’s Qantas, the airline’s CEO has said, adding the rule was likely to become “common” across the industry.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said late Monday the Australian flag carrier would implement the measure once a coronavirus vaccine was made available to the public.
“We are looking at changing our terms and conditions to say for international travellers that we will ask people to have a vaccination before they can get on the aircraft,” he told Channel Nine.
