«Only for flights where there is no social distancing»


Hand luggage prohibited in the hatboxes of the planes in Italy? The day was full of controversy. Then in the evening came the correction of the shot: the ban on the use of overhead bins is limited only to flights where social distancing is not carried out on board.

Here is the official note of theEnac, the National Civil Aviation Authority: «In clarification of what has already been communicated, ENAC specified, in a note sent to the airlines, that the ban on the use of overhead bins is limited to flights where social distancing is not carried out on board; vice versa, the use of the same is allowed on flights where this distancing is implemented. Therefore the use of overhead bins is allowed on aircraft where the social distancing required by the Prime Ministerial Decree of 11/06/2020 is respected. If, on the other hand, it is intended to derogate from the limit allowed by social distancing, only in that case is the use of the hatboxes prohibited».

It’s still. “These are, therefore, measures that allow derogation from social distancing in order to obtain greater coverage of the planes. In fact, Annex 15 of Prime Ministerial Decree 11/6/2020 indicates the prohibition on carrying large luggage on board between the conditions for carriers to benefit from the derogation on distancing on board the airplane. To obtain the derogation from the distancing, therefore, it is necessary to comply with a series of provisions including that relating to hand baggage and the use of overhead bins. It is recalled that the obligation of distancing must be respected by all carriers regardless of nationality and that all the conditions provided for derogating from the distancing must exist simultaneously. If even one of the conditions is not observed, the spacing must be maintained».
