John Dunne

BRITISH Airways has announced it will be the world’s first airline to trial a coronavirus test which produces results within 25 seconds.

The scheme will see flight and cabin crew taking a Pelican Covid-19 antigen test from medical tech company Canary Global. Results will be compared against their standard test results. British Airways chief executive Sean Doyle said: “We think this new ultra-rapid test is a game changer so we are delighted to work with the team at Canary to begin initial trials, before exploring what role it could play as a customer testing option.”
