An aircraft comes in to land at Heathrow Airport in west London Apr 21, 2010. LONDON: Britain published new guidance for airlines and airports on how to operate safely to minimise the risks from coronavirus, adding to hopes that the country will soon agree deals to allow quarantine-free travel.
Passengers and staff should wear face coverings in airports and on aircraft, while passengers should check in all luggage including hand bags and remain seated for as much of the flight as possible, said the Department for Transport on Thursday .Since the outbreak of coronavirus, there has been minimal flying into and out of Britain.
The guidance to put most baggage in the hold could be problematic for some low-cost airlines such as Ryanair which formerly charged a premium for customers to keep larger bags with them in the cabin. The government also said in its guidance that there should be extensive cleaning of the aircraft, and more availability of handwashing and hand sanitizer facilities.
