Airlines and airport representatives and operators called on Friday for an end to anti-pandemic measures for European domestic flights, as many countries began to relax restrictive measures.
"COVID-19, and specifically the Omicron variant, is now widespread across Europe and population immunity is at such levels that the risk of hospitalisation or death has been dramatically reduced, especially for vaccinated individuals," ACI Europe and IATA said in a joint statement.
ACI Europe, which represents some 500 airports in Europe, and IATA, the leading trade association for airlines, noted that many countries have now withdrawn requirements that citizens wear masks in public places or show proof of vaccination to participate in social events.
