All Nippon Airways It is mandatory for users to wear a mask from next month New Corona Measures May 21 12:56

Aviation giant All Nippon Airways will step up measures to prevent new coronavirus infections and will require passengers to wear masks everywhere from next month onboard passenger aircraft and at airports.

According to the infection prevention measures compiled by ANA, passengers will be required to wear masks on and after the first day of every month, such as onboard passenger aircraft, at security checkpoints at airports, and at boarding gates.

After that, except for infants and special reasons, "People who don't wear a mask or who feel sick due to fever may refuse to board."

In addition, on international flights, the entire cabin will be disinfected every time, and on domestic flights, toilets will be disinfected every departure and seats, armrests and tables will be disinfected once a day.

After that, passengers will have their hands sanitized before boarding, and those who wish will be provided with a disinfection sheet.

At ANA, almost 90% of international and domestic flights are currently suspended or reduced, but it is expected that passengers will gradually recover as the emergency declaration is gradually released.

The measures taken this time are more in-depth than the guidelines of industry groups, which used to be “requests” to wear masks for customers. It means that we have decided that it is necessary.
