ICAO Issues Guidelines for Air Transport Reopening
Questions remain over implementation of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s recommendations for reopening air travel.

The International Civil Aviation Organization’s Council Aviation Recovery Task Force (CART) on Monday issued a set of guidelines for member states to implement a coordinated plan for reopening the world’s air transport system following the Covid-19 pandemic. But when and under what authority such measures will take effect remains in question, notwithstanding industry leaders’ stated satisfaction with the substance of the report and the speed at which the ICAO/World Health Organization (WHO) task force produced it.
