This initiative emphasizes the importance of swift reporting by operators' stations and close collaboration with local health authorities.

The introduction of this protocol was met with widespread acclaim from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and member states, who commended its innovative approach to mitigating significant public health risks associated with air travel.

The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) of the UAE introduced the protocol during the Collaborative Arrangement for the Prevention and Management of Public Health Events in Civil Aviation (CAPSCA) joint meeting held in Germany.
