Air Canada announces flights to Italy, no need to quarantine on arrival

Share
TORONTO -

Air Canada will resume flights to Italy next month, under a government-approved system that will allow arriving passengers to bypass previous quarantine requirements on its website.

The 鈥淐OVID-tested鈥 flights to Rome will begin July 2. Passengers will have to provide a proof of a negative COVD-19 test taken within 48 hours of departure and another after landing in Italy.

Passengers denied boarding due to a positive test will be given a refund or voucher valid for eighteen months.

鈥淯.S. customers transiting through Canada to Italy on one of our direct flights to Rome can also benefit from this program,鈥 the airline said.

According to Italy鈥檚 health ministry website, so-call 鈥淐OVID-tested flights鈥 have been specifically authorized.

Air Canada is the first Canadian carrier to offer the flights, although some U.S. carriers offer the flights on U.S.-Italy routes. Airlines anticipate a surge in travel demand as infection rates fall in countries with successful vaccination campaigns.

Air Canada suspended flights to Italy in March 2020, as Italy bore the brunt of the pandemic鈥檚 arrival in Europe.
