Singapore Airlines passengers will hopefully soon be able to purchase a pre-departure Covid-19 PCR test for £99.
The UK becomes the fourth SIA market to gain 36-hour turn-around pre-departure tests, as part of an ongoing pilot scheme for customers based in Singapore, Indonesia and Hong Kong.
Customers will receive results within 36 hours through a dedicated booking portal, operated by specialist, Collinson, which can then generate a digital certificate and a QR code that can then be presented to staff upon check-in.
Collinson Asia Pacific president Todd Handcock said: “Testing remains crucial to reopening global borders, restoring confidence in travellers and getting the world travelling safely again.
“Our goal is to provide airlines with the support they need to help passengers test with ease and reach their destination as easily and safely as possible.
“By housing all necessary pre-departure information on one platform, our passengers can enjoy a much more streamlined and seamless booking and pre-flight experience with Singapore Airlines”.
