Through the partnership, SimpliFlying will bring testFRWD's 99-percent accurate testing solution to the travel industry to allow passengers to self-test before boarding flights
testFRWD (https://www.testfrwd.me/) ("tFRWD"), the startup providing the first do-it-yourself, mouthwash-based, COVID-19 testing solution, partners with the leading aviation-strategy firm, SimpliFlying (https://simpliflying.com/) to distribute tFRWD's 99-percent accurate solution to its the travel industry for passengers to properly self-test before departing on their travels. The solution will be distributed through SimpliFlying's SimpliTested (https://simpliflying.com/simplitested/) initiative, a program designed to rebuild air travel responsibly, and via tFRWD's other partnerships.
COVID-19 has taken a massive toll on the airline industry, with the IATA estimating the industry will have lost more than $118.5 billion in 2020 and $38 billion in 2021. The travel industry now faces a partially vaccinated world, in which vaccines and testing will be utilized symbiotically. As it stands, airports and airlines lack the infrastructure to test the enormous volume of passengers in a method that is both clinically adequate and expeditious within reasonable parameters. Existing solutions for testing passengers in transit are wildly inconsistent and don't deliver results accurate enough to justify proper COVID safety clearance. With the effects of the pandemic expected to last for at least a year while vaccines are gradually administered, tFRWD spearheads the effort to restore safe travel by tackling these challenges.
