XpresSpa Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XSPA) (“XpresSpa” or the “Company”),
a health and wellness company, today announced a partnership with
Hawaiian Airlines to start offering COVID-19 testing services for
passengers leaving John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK),
Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Phoenix Sky Harbor
Airport (PHX). Beginning today, its subsidiary, XpresCheck, will
begin serving as a trusted testing partner for the carrier’s guests
traveling on its non-stop flights to Hawai‘i.
“We are very pleased to be welcomed as a trusted
partner of Hawaiian Airlines and the state of Hawai’i so more
travelers can safely return to vacation travel during the COVID-19
pandemic. Our growing network of airline partners are
providing more travelers more access to more destinations heading
into 2021,” said XpresSpa Group’s Chief Executive
Officer, Doug Satzman.
XpresCheck, will provide pre-travel testing
on-site with rapid molecular testing services – with results
provided while you wait – so travelers may bypass the state of
Hawaiʻi 10-day quarantine restriction. Guests may access the
walk-up testing site and purchase a $200 state-approved rapid test
at the following airport locations:
- JFK: Terminal 4
- BOS: Terminal E
- PHX: Terminal 4
Passengers who test positive from a rapid test
are informed that they must exit the airport and self-isolate per
CDC guidelines. Any travel companions will also not be permitted to
travel. As more destinations mandate testing requirements,
partnerships between airport testing facilities and airlines will
continue to pave the way to restoring traveler confidence and
safety in 2021.
“Our collaboration with XpresCheck furthers
our commitment to making pre-travel testing seamless and accessible
for our guests returning home or taking a long-awaited Hawai'i
vacation from Phoenix, New York City and Boston while also doing
our part to maintain Hawaiʻi track-record as a safe destination,”
said Avi Mannis, senior vice president of marketing at Hawaiian
Airlines.
