Is PCR Test Requirement based on Airline or Destination Country?

My advice is to not rely on any third-party for such information.

Airlines can establish requirements and can change them from time to time. Get information about an airline’s requirement from the airline. I would take screen captures of online information, keep email, and ask for reference information provided orally.

Countries can establish requirements and can change them from time to time. Get information about a country’s requirement from the country’s embassy, consulate, and.or web presence. I would take screen captures of online information, keep email, and ask for reference information provided orally.

Travelling to or within Canada? The rules have changed. Here's what you need to know

But that information is today. It could be different tomorrow.

This information is too important for you to become a news story and be quoted saying, “But some guy on the internet said…”.

Every country makes its own immigration rules, which include medical requirements for visitors. What rules the airlines might have for letting you on the plane might be entirely different. You need to check and follow both.

For a pre-COVID example, US immigration will allow you to fly in to the country with only a NEXUS card and no passport. But Porter Airlines will, in spite of that, refuse to let you board a flight to the USA unless you have a passport. They are explicit about this in their website. If you show up for a Porter flight with only a NEXUS card and no passport, "but the US ICE website says..." won't get you anywhere.

Check with the consulate of the country you are visiting and/or its national immigration service for the most up-to-date information. Even then the rules can change daily, including between when you depart and when you arrive. Be prepared for anything.

Oh boy

Now I know why a lot of people got denied boarding on my flight lmao
