LONDON: British Airways' new boss said vaccinated people should be allowed to travel without restriction and non-vaccinated people with a negative COVID-19 test, as he set out his ideas for a travel restart a month before the UK government finalises its plans.

"I think people who've been vaccinated should be able to travel without restriction. Those who have not been vaccinated should be able to travel with a negative test result," he said. He wants the government to give its backing to health apps that can be used to verify a person's negative COVID-19 test results and vaccination status.Apps will be key to facilitating travel at scale, the industry has said. Airline staff checking paperwork takes 20 minutes per passenger and is not practical if large numbers of passengers return.

The government has said any return to travel must be fair and not unduly disadvantage those who have not been vaccinated.
