I have just realised I posted my comment in French. My apologies. Here it is again.
This article talks about tests on arrival.
It seems to me
- to avoid passengers travelling and being turned back on arrival
- to avoid a single passanger risking contaminating a whole plain.
- to fluidify air transport
- to reduce the risk of false négatives
All passengers should be tested a maximum of 72 hours before their flight.
A certificate (confirming the test is negative) should be presented to a specific service at the airport where a new test will be made before departure.
Test results take 4-5 hours to come through. In the unlikely case that the traveller has caught the disease between the first and second tests, the person can be isolated on board the plane.

Il me semble,
- pour éviter qu'un passager fasse le voyage pour être refoulé à l'arrivée
- pour éviter qu'un seul passager puisse contaminer tout un avion
- pour fluidifier le transport aérien
- pour diminuer la possibilité de faux négatifs
Tout passager devrait se faire tester en ville au maximum 72 heures avant son départ.
Un certificat (que le résultat est négatif) devrait être présenté à un service spécialisé de l'aéroport qui effectuera un autre test avant l'embarquement.
Le résultat est disponible 4-5 heures après le test. Dans le cas, peu probable, que le voyageur aurait attrapé la maladie entre les deux tests, celui-ci peut être isolé dans l'avion.
