While it is a positive step that our customers will soon be able to enjoy our beloved facilities, the US Government still needs recognition as a Green destination. Travel between the UK and US remains closed. However, 23 million people are able to travel each day for their economic value. We call on the UK Government and the Biden Administration to remove the 212F proclamation to UK travelers.Nadia Clinton, Deltas Regional Manager of Sales, stated:Our customers will be able to return to Terminal 3 to enjoy the same award-winning experience that they had during the pandemic. We are confident that customers will be able to travel between the two countries safely, given current vaccination rates. The risk of transmitting disease on an aircraft traveling between the UK & US was 1 in 1,000,000 according to a recent Mayo Clinic study. This is despite the fact that the planes have strong air filters and mandated masks. We ask the US and UK governments to allow non-essential travel.Before you goTerminal 3 is now open for inbound and export traffic. It may be time for airlines to move on from other Terminals.
