The United Kingdom is considering scrapping its pre-departure Covid-19 test requirement for vaccinated travelers entering the country, according to people familiar with the matter, after airlines hard-hit by the Omicron variant lobbied for the rules to be eased. The government is likely to keep a mandate for vaccinated arrivals to quarantine until they’ve done a test within two days of entering the country, said the people, who asked not to be identified before a decision was made.
Manchester Airports Group and industry lobby Airlines UK published research maintaining that the removal of testing requirements on international travel won’t affect Covid’s spread, and that domestic restrictions were the only way to stem the virus within Britain. The airline industry has faced ever changing travel rules through the course of the pandemic.
