Turkish Airlines is introducing new initiatives to reassure its passengers as it starts to resume flights.
Turkey’s flag carrier will:
- have crew members as Hygiene Experts on board
- give hygiene kits to passengers
- will disinfect all aircraft before each flight
Hygiene Experts
The airline will appoint some cabin crew as ‘Hygiene Experts’.
The ‘Hygiene Experts will be responsible for all hygiene standards onboard, including:
- social distancing
- reducing passengers’ mobility inside the planes
- warning passengers to keep face masks on throughout the trip
- continuously disinfecting the planes’ lavatories and any spots passengers may have touched
Hygiene kits for passengers
Depending on the flight length, the airline is giving hygiene kits to passengers, containing face masks, disinfectants and antiseptic wipes.
Disinfecting aircraft before each flight
The planes in Turkish Airlines’ fleet are thoroughly disinfected before each flight. The seats, screens and windows are washed down as part of this process.
Turkish Airlines is resuming its domestic and international flights in June after a two-month hiatus due to the pandemic.
