Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Evan Cullen:

I put a similar question to all the pilot associations around the world. We are not aware of any jurisdiction that has 100% PCR testing at any airport. We know that airports are moving rapidly towards having up to 100% of antigen testing. Antigen testing is improving all the time. A new Novara test is coming in at 90% efficacy. I listed in my presentation that Italy, France, Germany and Austria are introducing and have made significant investments in antigen testing.
