United Airlines to Offer Passengers COVID-19 Tests
Sep 24, 2020
United Airlines is looking for ways to make passengers more comfortable onboard flights as we continue to adjust to the new normal amid the coronavirus pandemic.
This week, the airline announced that it will become the first American airline to offer COVID-19 tests to its passengers. Passengers can choose between taking a test at the airport the day of their flight or to receive an $80 mail-in test prior to their flights. The mail-in test must be submitted within 72 hours of the flight.
Anyone who tests negative for COVID-19 will not be subjected to 14-day quarantine requirements in certain states.
While the plan is to have the program widely available for all flights across the country, United will begin the program on flights from San Francisco to Hawaii.
“Our new COVID testing program is another way we are helping customers meet their destinations’ entry requirements, safely and conveniently,” Toby Enqvist, chief customer officer at United, said in a statement, via the New York Post .
“We’ll look to quickly expand customer testing to other destinations and US airports later this year to complement our state-of-the-art cleaning and safety measures that include a mandatory mask policy, antimicrobial and electrostatic spraying and our hospital-grade HEPA air filtration systems.”
United plans to roll out the program beginning October 15.
