Mallorca: Easyjet will not carry out any tests
The Austrian airline Easyjet Europe is resisting mandatory corona tests that are to be carried out before departure from Palma to a destination in Germany. The company points out that this is not the responsibility of the airlines, but of the passengers. Competitors Eurowings, Lufthansa, Tuifly and Condor were able to avert compulsory quarantine around Easter by offering to organize mandatory corona tests before departure from Palma. Easyjet does not think much of this and does not want to be involved in its implementation, writes the Berliner Tagesspiegel, citing a statement from the low-cost airline. Country manager Stephan Erler criticizes the fact that Germany has "still not implemented a nationwide testing and entry strategy". Easyjet now expects a binding regulation that is the same for all airlines, "both coming from high-risk areas and non-risk areas". Erler also reiterates the demand for uniform travel rules across Europe that airlines and passengers can follow.
