Delta's CE said he would support an 'immunity passport' program or other steps to jumpstart travel

Delta CE Ed Bastian said Wednesday the airline would investigate and support a wide range of possible measures to help jump-start air travel during a recovery that he expects will take 2 to 3 years. "When you ask people what the most important thing is to get them to start traveling, it's confidence in their safety," Bastian said. "We have medical advisors that we work with, and we'll continue to work with to help them translate the return of business to where people feel safe. We'll make whatever changes to the business model that will be necessary," he added. Bastian suggested that virtually all options were on the table as well, including selling fewer tickets for each flight once travel begins to return to enable social distancing on planes. The remaining tickets would likely be priced higher. <br/>
