The Atlantic Canada Airports Association is calling for the regions premiers to implement arrival testing protocols for domestic passengers to help ease quarantine times, and is calling on a testing protocol for everyone moving through the region by air.
Atlantic Canada has managed to keep COVID-19 cases low, despite surges in other parts of the country and many are pointing to the Atlantic Bubble as a reason why.
Association President, Derrick Stanford says they are relieved to hear that Ottawa is willing to discuss relief with air carriers, and says that the 14-day quarantine restrictions in the Atlantic Bubble have smothered the industry.
He suggests implementing testing at regional airports before connectivity is lost.
