TTG’s next seminar, taking place tomorrow afternoon, is to debate the potential of airport testing on arrival to cut 14-day quarantine by as much as half.

Airport testing: a silver bullet? Join the debate tomorrow

Panellists including Southend Airport CEO Glyn Jones, Red Savannah founder (and champion of the Quash Quarantine campaign) George Morgan-Grenville, Advantage Travel Partnership chief executive Julia Lo-Bue Said and the Board of Airline Representatives (BAR UK) chief executive Dale Keller will discuss the benefits and limitations of the concept.

How likely is it the government might be convinced to adopt airport testing? How reliable can it be? And who should pay for it?
