03 April 2021 In the queue at the check-in it almost seems that Covid does not exist, if it were not for the mask on the face and the sheets with the result of the tampon in hand.
With Italy in the red zone, there are those who do not give up on their holidays: "We must release the stress of these horrible months", say the passengers departing for Fuerteventura and Tenerife from Malpensa, where the first flight also landed today 'Covid Tested 'from New York, for the Minister of Tourism Massimo Garavaglia "symbol of the return to normality" waiting for the European green pass that will allow you to resume traveling.
About one hundred passengers arriving from New York, who can avoid quarantine or fiduciary isolation thanks to the possibility of making an antigenic swab, both on departure and on arrival.
For the moment they can be used for health or work reasons.
"It is the first flight ever from New York since the end of March 2020, it took a year to restart this crucial connection for people and the economy - comments Armando Brunini, CEO of Sea - We hope they will come to restrictions will be eased as soon as possible: if they are safe flights, they must also be allowed for use by those flying for tourism ".
Just like the travelers leaving today for the Canary Islands from Malpensa as well as from the Catullo airport of Verona.
"I tried in every way to escape by staying in Italy," says a passenger about the controversy over these holidays abroad when Italian hotels and restaurants are closed.
"This trip is legal, I don't see what the problem is," stresses one tourist.
"I would have preferred to go to Italy in the second home but we had no alternatives and we chose Spain", adds another.
"I'm going to Tenerife with the girls, I couldn't wait - says a mother - Above all the girls couldn't stay at home anymore. Now we will finally have a little breath and tranquility".
A bridge to the exotic in the 1980s, the Canary Islands became the first international destination to be reached with the 'Covid-Tested' holidays proposed by the Alpitour Group.
Two extraordinary measures included in the package fee: a subsidy to carry out the molecular swab before departure from Italy and a second test managed directly by the Group, both economically and operationally, carried out for guests in the resort before returning.
Travelers will thus be reassured by their own and others' negativity, as well as being relieved of most of the bureaucratic and health procedures for travel, even if on their return they will still have to do a five-day quarantine.
"It's fine with me - explains a young Piedmontese who is leaving with his girlfriend from Verona - even if it is a way that makes people discuss: my parents, for example, could not leave for this very reason and so only my girlfriend and I go on vacation ".
