Overview of Travel Guidelines and Entry Requirements

Air Travel

In many ways, air travel is the biggest challenge as international tourism resumes. Entry requirements, flight connectivity and airport protocols are in flux, and there isn’t a lot of consistency across countries and carriers.

AIRLINES

We’ve found the following airlines have distinguished themselves in terms of reliability, managing schedule changes and leading on-board health safety plans:

• Delta – Onboard Experience Changes

  1. Emirates – Traveling to, from and through Dubai

  2. Qatar – Safety Measures

AIRPORTS

Even before the covid pandemic, most major gateway airports in Africa had mandatory temperature checks and other measures in place to support disease control. Here’s a glimpse at what these airports are doing now to welcome international travelers back.
