With flights temporarily suspended as a result of the outbreak of the new Corona virus, it is normal for our travel conditions to change, and this may continue for an extended period.
In a report published by the American "Reader's Digest" magazine, author Emma Toppenfield reviewed the expectations of some travel experts regarding the changes that will occur in the aviation industry in the post-Corona period, especially at airports, and they agreed that the urgent changes that will occur are very similar to the established root procedures. With her after the events of September 11, 2001.
Employees
According to David A. Panmeler, a former CEO and specialist in this field, will reduce the number of employees in order to limit communication including when checking baggage, security and boarding, and passengers will adhere to these new procedures during the various stages of these to reduce direct human contact. It will also become online check-in, with each passenger scanning his own ticket and printing luggage cards at home.
Carry bags
Carrying luggage will likely be prohibited in the passenger cabins to reduce luggage. Passengers must reduce their load to facilitate the sterilization of luggage during the check-in process.
Purpose boxes
Airports will remove boxes where travelers place their items completely, with hundreds of travelers using these boxes every day without cleaning them. Therefore, travelers will have to place their items directly on the conveyor belt.
Reducing crowds
Non-travelers will not be allowed to be at the airport to minimize the crowd. Sterilization spaces and thermal scanners will be adopted for travelers.
There will be dedicated space for each flight to reduce passenger congestion before boarding. Usually, one space is designated for each flight, but it will become normal to allocate two or three spaces from here on out.
Safety measures
Passengers will pay additional costs for health related actions. Although travelers believe that the new cost burden should not lie with them, airline tickets are likely to increase due to the new safety measures. It will take more time than before due to sterilization procedures, which are repeated several times on the same day.
Private jets
Doug Golan, the owner of a private aircraft company, predicts a boom in private aviation demand. The wealthy class has become more dependent than ever on this type of aircraft for business or leisure. At the beginning of May, private aircraft represented 33% of all aircraft approved for departure flights, compared to only 15% before the emerging Corona virus crisis.
medical certificate
The author said that Iceland will open its borders for tourists next month coincides with the imposition of a number of measures, such as providing visitors with a medical certificate indicating their good health and not being infected with the virus. Upon arrival, visitors may have to undergo a 48-hour isolation period pending the results of the test, and if the traveler refuses to take the test, he will have to undergo a 14-day quarantine period.
Climbing from front to back
Dr. Trika believes. to. Haynes of Dynamite Travel said that boarding passengers would be different at many airports by having passengers on the plane sit from the back first and then move forward to limit contact with others. Passengers and staff are likely to be asked to wear masks on board, and check-in, security and immigration procedures will take longer than usual. Prices will rise due to the possibility of removing the middle seat.
