Coronavirus has presented new health safety challenges for air travel and EASA has responded by setting new standards for aviation safety & passenger wellbeing, working closely with the European Centre for Disease Prevention & Control (ECDC) and the European Commission.
As a result, EASA and ECDC issued the COVID-19 Aviation Health Safety Protocol , defining measures to assure the health safety of air travellers and aviation personnel once airlines resume regular flight schedules following the severe disruption caused by COVID-19.
Guidance for management of air passengers
EASA & ECDC have summarised the most important elements from the passenger perspective in a poster:
- Plan your journey
- To the airport
- Departure airport
- On the plane
- Arrival airport
Have a look, click on the image and see the poster to ensure a healthy and safe journey.
The poster is also available in different layout formats and languages on EASA Pro.
EASA compiled a catalogue of FAQs to help passengers with air travel in respect to COVID-19.
Have a look at the FAQs to prepare for your travel.
COVID-19 Aviation Health Safety Protocol in detail
Apart from guidance on how to manage passengers, the protocol also sets standards for airports, crew members and their management.
The protocol will be updated to adjust standards, and you can access the protocol on EASA Pro, our website for aviation authorities, industry & professionals
