Mr. Paul Brandon:

I will make a few comments. We are not public health or scientific experts. We are examining this purely from an aviation perspective. In that context, if there is a proven negative case and one applies the existing European Union Aviation Safety Authority, EASA, and ECDC protocol for the management of passengers, that should provide the appropriate reassurance. We respect that public health and the management of borders are national competences and that wider issues than aviation need to be considered, but in looking at this purely from the perspective of restarting the aviation industry, pre-departure testing as part of the traffic light system, allied to the existing controls and measures on board flights and in airports, should allow for an effective reopening of aviation.
