Philadelphia International Airport can again accept flights to Europe, sources say
The restriction has prevented trans-Atlantic flights because Philadelphia International is not among the 15 “funneling airports” where the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention can screen international passengers for Covid-19.
“It is my understanding that this would all but solve any issues at PHL,” said an email from a congressional aide who asked not to be named.Yahoo News first reported Wednesday that the U.S. government on Monday will stop conducting enhanced covid-19 screening of passengers on inbound international flights.
“This report aligns with what we’re hearing,” said a second aviation source who also asked not to be named.
