ATS Travel facilitates at home Covid-19 tests for passengers

The bespoke travel management company has partnered with Mediclinic to offer at-home PCR tests.

Passengers wishing to travel on any airline from the UAE to any destination worldwide can avail of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests at the comfort of their homes or offices in an agreement signed between the Dubai headquartered travel management company (TMC), ATS Travel. This facility will be offered to all the clients of the TMC at a nominal cost, where ATS Travel will facilitate PCR testing for all its clients based on the rules of the destination airport. 

Not all the destinations require PCR testing to be done.

"In order to ensure that this service is seamless and offered at the right price, we have partnered with the pioneers in conducting PCR tests in the UAE – Mediclinic. The agreement covers managing the requirements of all our clients across all the Emirates in the UAE. We are in the process of offering similar services to more than 550 Corporate and MICE clients across 14 countries in the region in the coming days", added Sharif. 

"By offering this service, we aim to offer the right advice about Covid 19 regulations to our clients, making their entire journey from start to finish – stress free. We will be extending this service to the clients of 5th Element Events – an Events management company fully owned by ATS Travel" , added Sharif.
