Count aviation staff as vital in vaccine roll-out plans: Iata issacjohn@khaleejtimes.com Filed on December 16, 2020 Iata said it does not take a position on whether vaccines should be mandatory for flight crew, maintaining that is a matter for states to decide. The International Air Transport Association (Iata) renewed its call on governments to ensure that employees in the aviation sector are considered as essential workers during the impending Covid-19 vaccine campaign, once health care workers and vulnerable groups have been protected. “We are not asking for aviation workers to be on top of the list, but we need governments to ensure that transportation workers are considered as essential when vaccine roll-out plans are developed,” the global airlines body said in a unanimously adopted resolution adopted at its annual general meeting.

As airlines reactivate planes, regulators and insurers call for extra attention to conditions and training

Government has no plans to issue vouchers for domestic travel, tourism minister says

Supplied Tourism Industry Aotearoa suggested to the Government that in its first 100 days it should give every New Zealander a $200 travel card. An international airline lobby group, which includes Air New Zealand as a member, is calling on governments to give their citizens vouchers to spend on travel as a way to boost domestic tourism. The International Air Transport Association (Iata) has identified five ways that governments can help stimulate air travel, which is facing projected global losses of US$39 billion (NZ$55b) in 2021. The initiatives include waiving government charges, taxes and fees to airlines and passengers, route subsidies for domestic flights, financial incentives to airlines for operating flights, advance ticket purchases by governments that can be used for official travel or distributed to the public, and passenger travel subsidies in the form of vouchers for passengers or as a percentage cash-back on overall travel costs.
