On Friday, the US has opened its borders for fully vaccinated international travellers after 20 months. As per the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Xinhua news agency reported, "International flight arrivals are expected to rise 11% on Monday over a similar day in October at Newark Liberty and John F. Kennedy international airports, with 253 flights scheduled to arrive.
CNBC reported, "Shares of United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines were each up more than 1 per cent in morning trading. Those carriers have the most international service of the U.S. airlines and stand to benefit from the resumption of US-bound travel."
The travel ban was announced in the country by former US President Donald Trump in early 2020 and extended by President Joe Biden early this year due to Covid-19 pandemic.
Visitors need to carry the relevant documents as a paper certificate, a photo of the document or a digitized version.
