Willie Walsh, IATA Director General, commented as follows on today’s publication of a report from the UK Government’s Global Travel Taskforce: “The UK Government’s Global Travel Taskforce report marks an important step towards regaining the social and economic benefits of the freedom to travel from 17 May. There are some positives. The framework that this initiative is setting gives some clarity to both travelers and the travel industry. The intention to use a digital system, such as IATA Travel Pass, to manage testing and vaccination documentation is an important assurance of efficiency for check-in and border processes. And developing a plan to reopen travel is a step ahead of most other countries.
