XpresSpa Group Announces New Collaboration with JetBlue Airlines at Boston Logan International Airport for both Rapid and PCR...
December 21 2020 - 8:30AM
XpresSpa Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XSPA) (“XpresSpa” or the “Company”),
a health and wellness company, today announced expanded COVID-19
testing services for JetBlue Airlines passengers in Boston Logan
International Airport, one of the airline’s largest focus cities,
through a new partnership with XpresCheck. In early January,
XpresCheck will open a new “pop-up” testing facility in JetBlue’s
Terminal C. The XpresCheck testing center will offer both rapid and
PCR tests with advance appointments recommended.
“As Boston’s leading airline, we are committed
to the safety of not only our customers and crewmembers, but also
the communities we serve. By partnering with XpresCheck, a
leader in in-airport testing, we are providing our customers
traveling to and from the Boston area with innovative testing
options. We appreciate our partners, including Massport, for
working with us to bring this important service to our customers,”
said Joanna Geraghty, president and chief operating officer,
JetBlue Airways.
The new COVID-19 testing center, which will be
located prior to security screening, will be available to
passengers who may want or need to be tested prior to travel, or
those returning to the Boston area. Currently, state officials in
Massachusetts require all travelers returning to the state to
receive a negative PCR test result that has been administered up to
72 hours prior to arrival. Quarantine is not required after a
negative result has been received. Travelers arriving in Boston
will be able to simply walk off their flight, grab their bags if
needed, and obtain a test without another trip to a medical
facility.
“We are pleased to
welcome JetBlue to our network of airline partners, beginning in
Boston, as we develop future plans nationally. The JetBlue
partnership will bring the convenience of on-site COVID-19 testing
to passengers whether traveling to a destination that requires a
negative COVID-19 test for entry or returning to Massachusetts and
seeking to test out of the state mandated quarantine. The
availability of trusted, verifiable health status information,
including test results, will continue to help get people back to
traveling in 2021,” said Doug Satzman, XpresSpa Group’s chief
executive officer.
Passengers seeking more information or who want
to make an appointment before and/or after travel should
visit www.xprescheck.com. Customers
should thoroughly research entry requirements for each destination
to determine best timing for testing and accepted testing methods.
Entry requirements are subject to change, in some cases with little
notice.
