“The Airport and our airline partners are well prepared with a range of social distancing, hygiene and testing provisions in place throughout the airport.  As travel begins to open up more, we must ensure that it is done so in a safe manner and ask that passengers  are aware with the new measures in place and familiarise themselves with the rules and requirements around air travel this summer.”
