EASA Head Urges Common EU Covid-19 Travel Restrictions
According to EASA executive director Patrick Ky, agency data shows that air transport does not generate new coronavirus infections.

The head of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency has joined other industry stakeholders in blaming the patchwork of continually changing travel restrictions and quarantine rules imposed by national authorities across Europe for stemming the recovery of air travel. Speaking during a policy event organized by Airlines for Europe (A4E), EASA executive director Patrick Ky insisted that the uncertainty about Covid-19 testing and quarantine measures at the destination and back home were more detrimental to regaining passengers' trust in flying than fears of attracting the virus in airports or aboard an aircraft.
