The International Air Transport Association (IATA) on Wednesday said that it will support unrestricted access to travel for vaccinated travelers and encourage growing numbers of countries making data and evidence-driven decisions to open their borders to vaccinated travelers.
“IATA supports unrestricted access to travel for vaccinated travelers. In cases where vaccination is not possible, access to quarantine-free travel should be provided through COVID-19 testing strategies based on widely available, free-of-charge tests,” the industry body of over 290 member airlines said in a statement.
“The latest data collected by IATA, including its Timatic service, shows that more than 20 countries have wholly or partially lifted restrictions for vaccinated travelers,” it added.
