Under the plan, passengers will be tested for the virus five days before departure.

“Only passengers with negative test results will be accepted on-board,” KLM said in a statement.

After testing negative again upon arrival at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport, U.S. and European Union passengers travelling from Atlanta will be able to skip a 5-day quarantine in the Netherlands.

“The flights will initially run for three weeks and if successful, the airlines hope to extend the program to other markets,” KLM said.

Alitalia announced a similar plan for flights from Rome to New York earlier on Friday.
