Delta CEO Ed Bastian discusses testing, summer 'surge'

Passenger traffic on US airlines has dropped again to levels not seen in a couple decades, but Delta CEO Ed Bastian thinks there will be a summer surge, at least within the US. Like many others in the airline industry, Bastian favors testing international travelers for COVID-19, which he sees as a way to remove other border restrictions, but he is dead-set against testing people before domestic flights, fearing it will cause another disastrous drop in leisure travel. On the pandemic, Bastian expects a stronger federal response under new President Joe Biden that will help the travel industry. Story features interview Q and Q with Bastian about these and other issues facing airlines. <br/>
