Phoenix-based Worldwide Jet, which operates a fleet of 12 business jets ranging from a Global Express to a Learjet 60, is rolling out a new Covid-19 testing effort for its crews. “This month, we will begin implementing testing every 72 hours, beginning 72 hours prior to reporting for their duty rotation,” said company president and CEO Andrew Kaufman. “As the logistical hurdles of this large-scale program are addressed, we hope our increased testing protocol will be in full effect by the end of the month.”
