Etihad Airways has become the first airline in the world to only operate flights with pilots and cabin crew who have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
FTE looks at some recent initiatives from Delta, United, Iberia, JetBlue and Etihad Airways to keep passengers and crew safe inflight.
Iberia has adopted a number of aircraft cleaning solutions to enhance hygiene on board, including electrostatic pistols and a cabin disinfection system.
JetBlue has deployed eight ultraviolet cabin cleaning devices, developed by Honeywell, which will be trialled at JFK and Fort Lauderdale airports.
Singapore and the UK have launched a series of trials to test the crew module of ICAO’s Council Aviation Recovery Taskforce (CART) Take-off guidelines.
As part of a new health and hygiene programme, Etihad has employed wellness ambassadors to provide essential health information and care for passengers.
IATA has stated that it backs the use of face masks onboard, but opposes social distancing measures that would leave “middle seats” empty.
Personal protective equipment, thermal scanners and social distancing indicators have been introduced to help keep passengers and staff safe.
British Airways will provide its crew with iPhone XRs loaded with a selection of apps to help offer customers additional assistance during their journey.
A total of 450 crew members will have access to all of the necessary flight information inflight via their iPad 4th Gen tablet devices.
FTE explores how Delta, Lufthansa, Air NZ, Philippine Airlines and Japan Airlines are empowering crew to enhance the in-flight experience.
Lufthansa will provide its 20,000 flight attendants with iPad minis, as part of a major digital transformation programme.
