Paris: The chief of the International Air Transport Association on Tuesday said airlines are suffering a "scam" as pricey coronavirus tests are required of people travelling to Britain.

But everybody should object when we see evidence of people being ripped off," IATA boss Willie Walsh said during an online conference.
