ALTA: «New measures in Chile do not favor recovery»
The implementation of the «Protected Frontiers» plan by the Chilean government continues to attract criticism among the main players in the commercial aviation industry, as it includes points that threaten the free mobility of people and become a renewed trap for the airlines.
The Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA for its initials in Spanish) commented in this regard that «although the measure is a step towards restoring the right to free movement of citizens and residents in Chile, it is an extremely restrictive measure that limits users and does not favor recovery because, on the one hand, travelers must comply with mandatory quarantine on their return to the country and, on the other, it impede minors who do not have their full vaccination scheme from leaving the country, preventing, in fact, family trips.»
In this sense, ALTA emphasizes that the measure «is not effective and violates a fundamental right of people» and that «there are effective alternatives to control the spread of the virus without undermining the right to free movement and without the economy, jobs and the welfare of the population continue to be harmed.»
The Chilean government’s plan also has other controversial points, such as forcing those who have their homes more than five hours from the entry point to the country have to perform ten days of isolation in hotels under their charge, thus discriminating against the inhabitants of the regions.
