“The start of these flights represents a crucial moment in the significant resumption of international travel. Air travel is critical to supporting the global economy and enabling unquarantined travel through rigorous testing protocols, which means customers can travel for essential purposes,” said Delta’s Steve Sear.

To fly, customers must obtain a negative PCR test five days prior to travel, as well as a negative rapid test at the Atlanta airport before boarding. A second PCR test will be conducted upon landing at Schiphol Airport. Once a negative result is received, customers will not need to be quarantined. COVID tests taken at the airport are included in the ticket price.
