Air Canada wants to offer voluntary COVID-19 tests, hoping the federal government will ease up on quarantine rules for travellers.
According to Reuters, citing a Raymond James analyst note, the airline is planning a trial run at Pearson Airport, expected to begin September 7th.
The program would reportedly include a test at the airport and two tests at home.
The note says the airline hopes, "the data collected will convince the government to take more of a science-based approach with the 14-day quarantine requirement waived or reduced for those with successful (negative) tests."
It's not clear what kind of tests would be used.
