British Airways is to run a trial of an ultra-rapid Covid-19 antigen test that displays results within 25 seconds. It’s the first airline in the world to conduct a trial with medical tech company Canary Global, to assess how its Pelican Covid-19 Ultra Rapid Covid-19 test can play a role in opening up travel. BA flight and cabin crew will be invited to take the Pelican Covid-19 test and the results will be compared with existing tests that they are already taking.

The test is a non-invasive saliva test that delivers 98% sensitivity and 100% specificity in symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals with COVID-19.
