The Latin American and Caribbean aviation industry is urging governments in the region to roll back newly imposed travel restrictions, including Covid testing requirements and flight bans on certain routes.
The effort comes as airline groups elsewhere wage similar campaigns against new restrictions that have, in some regions, stalled or reversed the sector’s recovery from the pandemic.
“Measures that had been lifted, such as quarantines on top of testing requirements, are being re-imposed,” says a joint statement from several Latin American and Caribbean aviation groups. “All of this represents a setback in the recovery efforts in many economic sectors, such as travel and tourism.”
