Part 6/9:
Instead, airlines may focus more on preventative measures to keep potentially ill passengers from boarding. This could involve extensive use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by pilots and cabin crew, including masks and gloves. Additionally, airlines may implement changes to cabin procedures, such as:
Evolving the boarding process to utilize touchless systems, minimizing physical interactions.
Offering pre-packaged meals instead of standard in-flight service to reduce crew-passenger contact.
Limiting cabin interaction by designating one toilet for crew use only, ensuring writers uphold hygiene measures.
Furthermore, airlines might establish more stringent aircraft cleaning protocols and conduct health checks at terminals to monitor passenger wellness before boarding.
