Abstract
As countries around the world begin to re-open their borders to air services following COVID-19 lockdowns, there are several health, safety, and security concerns that have not been fully addressed by aviation regulators or employers. It is the position of the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA) and the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) that an aircraft is a unique workplace and that additional precautions need to be taken into consideration for the resumption of service.
