Airlines and airports are recommending a layered approach to temporary safety measures as air travel restarts, warning that no single measure can mitigate all of the risks during the pandemic, according to a briefing document seen by Reuters.

IATA and ACI declined to comment specifically on the document but both said they were working with industry partners on a consistent global approach. Temperature checks on airport entry and exit are not likely to prove 100per cent effective because they may miss mild cases and those in the incubation period, but the measures could play a useful role in reassuring passengers and deter travel in the case of suspected infections, according to IATA and ACI.
