Health is the new safety for air travel now and it will be the new element determining public confidence in air travel. Many travelling right now face inconsistent checks before and after their flights. These vary by airport, country or other locality, and in some places aren’t happening at all.
The inevitability of airport health screenings is key as airlines look to reassure passengers that air travel is safe when the pandemic subsides. Because flying inherently involves being in close contact with others for extended periods of time, it’s likely that air travellers will have to undergo more stringent screenings than say, retail shoppers.
Some form of at-airport health screening may actually help lure some passengers back. One thing is clear though: there is a need for a standardised way for at-airport health checks before boarding, so passengers know what to expect when they get to the airport.
Introducing such health screening measures means an addition to already complex airport process and operation. Join the experts to learn how health screening checks as a process can be fitted in to existing airport processes.
