The airline could have operated the flight empty to Stockholm to pick up passengers, but it was not supposed to transport any. The airline has now canceled the rest of the flights to Arlanda.
The governor of New York, Mr. Cuomo, said on a press briefing on Monday that British Airways had agreed to require all New York-bound passengers to have a negative Covid-19 PCR-RT test. The governor had requested the same from Delta Air Line and Virgin Atlantic.
