Aviation Groups Call for End to U.S. Covid Testing Requirements
IATA, A4A, and several other organizations have called on the U.S. government to remove pre-departure testing requirements for entry into the country.

Several aviation groups including the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Airlines for America (A4A) on Thursday urged the U.S. government to remove pre-departure testing requirements for vaccinated travelers. According to IATA, the vaccinated traveler population adds no risk to the domestic U.S. population given increased immunity levels, the pervasiveness of Covid-19 in all 50 states, rising vaccination rates, and new therapeutic treatments.
