Prioritising you on board

We’re taking every measure to reduce your contact and safeguard your health.

• Mandatory face coverings throughout the flight 
• All passengers are temperature checked 
• Blocking off seats wherever possible

A clean travel environment

We’ve ramped up our sanitisation and service flow to ensure you’re protected in the air.

• Thorough sanitisation of all surfaces – from in-flight screens to air conditioning controls – between every flight
• A modified meal service designed to reduce contact with crew
• Temporary suspension of the pre-meal bar and pre-poured drinks (drinks will still be available throughout the flight)

HEPA filtered cabin air

Our HEPA filter and air circulation technology ensures the highest possible quality of air.

• Removes 99.999 per cent of airborne contaminants
• Recirculates air every two minutes 
• Offers a similar level of performance to those used to keep the air clean in hospital operating rooms and industrial clean rooms

Our cabin crew

Our crew follow detailed safety procedures to protect the wellbeing of everyone onboard.

• Masks, gloves and goggles provided for all crew
• Strict layover guidelines including no contact with the local community and close medical surveillance
