Passengers wearing masks arrive at Dulles International Airport March 13, 2020. More airlines will pass on passenger data to the CDC in a bid to free up international travel for U.S. citizens.Airlines for America, CEO Nicholas Calio, said he hoped the voluntary decision to gather and pass on the data to the CDC would assure people that the aviation industry and the federal government"are prioritizing the health and safety of passengers and crew.
"We are hopeful that this measure, coupled with existing testing requirements for passengers flying to the U.S., will lead policymakers to lift travel restrictions so that international travel can resume and the social and economic benefits of that travel can be realized," he said in a statement.Airlines have been reluctant to gather such information over concerns that the process would be time consuming and require expensive computer upgrades.
