Right now, traveling to Europe as a US citizen is near impossible and it’s hard to imagine when things will change. Major airlines, however, are advocating for the resumption of transatlantic travel as soon as possible, by calling for a joint COVID-19 testing program between the US and EU.
On Tuesday, the CEOs of United, American, IAG (which owns British Airways and Iberia), and Lufthansa airlines wrote that “given the unquestioned importance of transatlantic air travel to the global economy as well as to the economic recovery of our businesses, we believe it is critical to find a way to reopen air services between the U.S. and Europe.”
