One of Germany ’ s biggest airports located in the financial hub of Frankfurt , on Monday, got kitted with a coronavirus testing station , potentially allowing some passengers to avoid quarantine at their destination .
The project was inaugurated by German Biotech Company , Centogene, in conjunction with Fraport , which runs Frankfurt Airport and Lufthansa .
The plan is to offer testing to both arriving and departing Lufthansa passengers until the end of July 2021 , at a walk - in centre close to the terminal building .
Centogene referred to the programme as a blueprint to opening international borders, hoping the testing would assist travellers to get regulations at their destination .
Many countries require a negative test result within the past 72 hours to allow direct entry.
According to Centogene Chief Executive , Arndt Rolfs , testing can be carried out either the day before departure or in a fast - track process on the day of traveling, with results sent through a digital platform linking them with flyer ’ s ticket.
Lufthansa Group’ s Bjoern Becker said by opening the test centre , the company was offering its guests a comfortable opportunity to test themselves for flights abroad or a stay in Germany to avoid quarantine .
