New rule on negative test before flying starts today Policy could cut processing time at Airports
Beginning today, travelers who want to bypass the 14-day mandatory quarantine must have their negative COVID-19 test from a trusted testing partner prior to departing for the Aloha State.
Not only will the key change make the state’s pre-arrival testing program safer but it will also cut down processing time at Maui’s main airport, an official said Monday night.
Maui Airports District Manager Marvin Moniz said Kahului Airport has been averaging 45 minutes of post-arrival processing time per flight — down from about 120 minutes when the program launched in mid-October.
