November 8, the Biden Administration plans to lift travel restrictions for international travelers to the U.S. This policy affects both air and land-border travelers who must be fully vaccinated and show proof of their vaccination records. This comes from the rising pressure that European allies have been asking for the U.S. to lift the restrictions.

Recently the administration stated they would "relax" on the covid-19 travel restrictions on land-border crossings from Canada and Mexico for those travelers who are looking to cross borders for non-essential reasons but must show proof of vaccination. Besides this, there will continue to be required pre-departure negative tests taken three days prior to travel before boarding. 

With this being said, are travelers willing to take all these steps for commercial flying? Or is the private flying sector going to become more custom? Furthermore, will this create an emergence of other agencies looking to build their rapport?
