<p>Chief executive John Holland-Kaye said it will trial technologies and processes which could form the basis of a common international standard for health screening at airports in a bid to encourage passengers to return to flying.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The scheme is aimed at reducing the risk of passengers contracting or transmitting Covid-19 while travelling.</p>
<p>The first trial will be launched in the next two weeks and will involve using cameras which are capable of monitoring the temperatures of people.</p>
<p>Cameras will initially be used in the airport’s immigration halls, but could be deployed in areas for departures, connections and airport staff searches.</p>
<p>Temperature screening of passengers has been in use by airports in some countries for several weeks as part of measures to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.</p>

<p>Mr Holland-Kaye said: “Aviation is the cornerstone of the UK economy, and to restart the economy the Government needs to help restart aviation.</p>
<p>“The UK has the world’s third-largest aviation sector, offering the platform for the Government to take a lead in agreeing a common international standard for aviation health with our main trading partners.</p>
<p>“This standard is key to minimising transmission of Covid-19 across borders, and the technology we are trialling at Heathrow could be part of the solution.”</p>
<p>In a statement, they said they want to “drive forward” the development of a Common International Standard by trialling different technologies.</p>
<p>Heathrow said the trials “will assess for medical effectiveness, passenger response as well as suitability to the airport environment”.</p>
<p>They said that data from the trials will be shared with the UK government and the aviation industry “to jumpstart the creation of a Common International Standard for health screening”.</p>

<p>Other technologies under review “include UV sanitation, facial recognition thermal screening technology and contactless security procedures”</p>
