The Swiss airline requires rapid tests for the corona virus at the airport for passengers returning to Switzerland. Those that test negative should not be quarantined, said trade chief Tamur Goudarzi Pour in an interview with “Blick” newspaper.
Swiss is responsible for testing upon entry, as this is one of the measures to reduce the risk of spreading the virus and at the same time allow for an orderly journey. Who will pay for these tests is currently being discussed.
From the Swiss point of view, it is clear that the tests must be carried out jointly with airports and third-party medical providers.
Goudarzi Pour also commented on flight operations. Swiss is taking off from 3 percent of the original flight schedule and is now flying to 40 percent of capacity and 85 percent of all destinations. This goal should be reached by the end of October.
Today, Switzerland has about 30 percent capacity of what was originally planned. However, if the situation worsens, Switzerland will need more time.
