Abstract The aviation industry needs to work on the resilience of air travel against health threats and regain passenger trust. This paper proposes a pandemic-free travel concept based on creating an infectious diseases free zone in the airport terminal building through screening of passengers, crews and airport workers. This research shows that infectious disease detection methods applicable at the airport could be available in a short timeframe, at affordable cost and in scale. The potential location of passenger health screening, facilitation requirements, health responsibilities delegation and appropriate usage of industry standards for regulations are key elements to a potential implementation that would be phased and long term.

    Highlights Air travel industry needs to work on resilience and regain passenger trust. Proposed pandemic-free travel based on airport sterile zone. Methods for infectious diseases detection at airports available in short term. Strategy based on a multilayer risk-management approach. Guidelines, industry standards and health responsibility delegation needed.
