(The Center Square) – The Honor Flight Network is set to resume flights beginning next month, but in accordance with CDC guidelines and other COVID protocols. Not all hubs are ready to fly their aging veterans to the nation’s capital.
Honor Flights are privately funded chartered flights for veterans of foreign wars of advanced age to visit war memorials in Washington D.C.
The national Honor Flight Network put out guidelines for flights to continue starting next month after canceling all flights amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Honor Flight is pleased to announce that operations will resume on August 16, 2021,” the group said on its website. “Additionally, in accordance with current CDC guidelines, all participants will be required to either be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or provide negative results of a PCR COVID-19 test within 72 hours prior to departure.”
