The industry believes that expensive Covid-19 tests will make travelling less accessible, prohibiting a successful recovery
Four major parties within the aviation industry – Airlines UK, the Airport Operators Association (AOA), AGS and Edinburgh Airport – have called upon the Scottish government to fix the issue of expensive Covid-19 testing for those travelling back to Scotland from abroad.
Comparatively, customers returning to England are required to pay a much lower rate, according to the parties.
