MONTREAL: 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 COVID-19 pandemic, according to a briefing document seen by Reuters.
The industry supports reliable COVID-19 testing, but at the moment virus and antibody tests are not a viable solution at airports and there is no confirmed evidence yet that antibodies confer immunity, according to the IATA and ACI document.

Social and physical distancing should be limited to the initial restart phase because the measures will cap airport and aircraft capacity once travel demand grows, the document said.
Tests kits (speedy and accurate ones) at departure and arrival will be the key to a restart for the industry... and only way to ease quarantine measures on arrival
