Default International Jumpseat Ban?

Just tried to list on an Atlas Air flight and was told that Atlas is not accepting jumpseaters for international flights. Any idea on how long this will last?

OAL jumpseat restrictions started Feb/Mar of last year. Realistically, you can probably expect them to continue until some international consensus regarding COVID entry protocols is reached.

My $0.02.

Any update on lifting this ban now that protocols are settling in to place, and at least trans-Atlantic travel seems to be opening up?

A quick Google search indicates that protocols have not been established or settled in place. Americans currently cannot travel to the EU unless they meet one of a very few number of exceptions (essential transportation workers being one of them.) A lot of reporting indicates "soon", but I suspect until there is ACTUAL normalization of traffic no changes will be made.

I assume he is talking about Atlas’ prohibition on offline js during covid.

I have had zero issues jumpseating to and from the E.U. (Dual citizen) on United, Kalitta, AA and Delta last few months. Just make sure you comply with testing requirements on both sides of the pond. Atlas however does not allow JS international yet again as far as I am aware. The above mentioned however will take you as long as you have a right to enter those countries

I am a dual E.U./U.S. citizen as well. I have been successful on Delta. But sometimes Atlas would work better, which is why I am interested.

Any updates now that the EU has officially opened the doors to fully vaccinated Americans?
