Low-cost airline easyJet has launched a new travel testing service to make it easier and more affordable for UK customers to prepare to fly this summer.
It has teamed up with Covid-19 travel testing provider, Collinson to provide a range of easily-accessible test for passengers at discounted prices.
Pre-departure tests are available at airports across the UK including Luton, Gatwick and Manchester, as well as at the O2 Arena in central London. They can also be arranged via www.easyjet.com.
Charges start from £32 for a Lateral Flow Antigen, £66 for PCR and £68 for LAMP tests. All the tests are conducted by trained medical practitioners and government-approved.
For in-destination testing before returning to the UK, Collinson has launched a pre-return video testing solution.
Tests can be booked via Collinsongroup.com/en/covid-19-testing/easyjet.
Collinson also offers a UK Government-approved provider of the Test to Release (TTR) process that can release travellers arriving from amber countries from quarantine at the earliest time possible after they have completed five full days of quarantine.
Sophie Dekkers, chief commercial officer for easyJet, said: “ At easyJet we’re focussed on ensuring travel is easy and accessible for all.
"This partnership with Collinson enables us to provide customers with easy access to more convenient approved testing services, making it easier for them when travelling abroad this summer.”
David Evans, joint CEO at Collinson, added: “With travel opening up for all, we’re delighted to offer discounted test prices to easyJet customers, helping them to fly safely, affordably and in line with the latest Government guidance.
"We continue to offer a variety of testing services run by trained medical professionals in airports and venues around the world, making the return to travel as easy and convenient as possible.”
