Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland

Mr. Niall Lord:

On the commercial side, with this test obviously come the machines. The way we are trying to price this is on a per-test basis. As with anything, volume will dictate price. To give an example, I am actually out at the airport today where we are carrying out a test of 54 nationals who are heading back. We are running those tests there today and we will have the whole thing turned around in three to three and a half hours. Pricing will, again, come down to volume.

If I were to give a ballpark figure of where we are, it would be in the region of €50 per test, including the equipment, plus or minus 10%.
