BA has announced plans to expand its recent transatlantic Covid-19 testing trial in partnership with American Airlines and Oneworld. Over 500 customers have so far registered to take part in voluntary testing on selected flights between the US and London Heathrow, which began late last month. According to BA, “Many customers have expressed interest in having the testing trials expanded to more routes”, and as a result the trial has been expanded to include flights BA208 between Miami and Heathrow, and BA112 between New York JFK and Heathrow. It means that a total of five daily transatlantic flights to Heathrow from the four US gateways of Dallas Fort Worth, New York JFK, LAX and Miami will now participate in the trials. Meanwhile BA has also announced that researchers from the Oxford Internet Institute will consider the results and implications of survey data from participants in the trial. The project, ‘Trust, Testing and Travel, Technology Use, Traveller Knowledge and Compliance with Covid-19 Health Rules’, sees researchers, from the University of Oxford analyse aggregated, non-personal survey data from air travellers on their behaviour and sentiment towards the trial testing regime.<br/>
