05 Aug 2020 The future of air travel amid Covid 19 pandemic Global Collinson are looking to explore the way COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and will continue to impact Priority Pass customers and their air travel plans, the current level of confidence in regards to resuming air travel and what could potentially encourage customers to feel more confident about air travel in the foreseeable future. This report will uncover insights into how air travel habits and behaviours are changing, what the main reasons for those changes are, what measures could restore confidence in air travel as well as what social distancing services consumers are willing to use and even pay for. The findings provide evidence that although travel demand is not going to pick up immediately, travel as a whole is still important to Priority Pass members and the airport lounge is still seen as a valuable service.

06 Jul 2020 Heathrow ready to become first UK airport to offer medical COVID 19 testing Americas - APAC - Europe - Global - MEAI UK’s only hub airport ready to pilot ‘Test-on-Arrival’ PCR testing procedure from Collinson and Swissport ‘Test-on-Arrival' can take-off subject to Government approval of a 43rd exemption to the quarantine Procedure can restore public confidence in aviation and travel and be a welcome boost to the wider economy Collinson and Swissport are working with Heathrow Airport to offer a pilot of their COVID-19 testing procedure. The pilot, the first of its kind in the UK, will mean passengers can be checked for COVID-19 upon landing at Heathrow and know just hours later if they have tested positive for the virus. All three organisations are hoping the ‘Test-on-Arrival’ procedure could provide a solution to those travelling from places not included on last week’s list of countries exempt from quarantine, if the Government also adds people testing negative during the process to its list of exemptions. AN ALTERNATIVE TO QUARANTINE The announcement comes a couple of weeks after ...
