Also other new rules are imposed when flight activities have resumed after lockdown some time ago.

Germany, for example, has imposed strict regulations for all airplane passengers by limiting only one colony that is allowed to be carried into the cabin. In addition to having to wear a mask, airports in Germany set a minimum guard distance of 1.5 meters between fellow passengers.

While airports in the United States, for example in Los Angeles, have banned anyone from entering the airport area except for the officers and passengers of the departing aircraft, there is no tolerance and or compromise.

Next, several international airports have implemented a body temperature inspection process in a 3-stage cycle. Inspection upon arrival and will enter the airport, then at check-in counter, and finally just before boarding.

For those who want to travel using air transportation services, it is recommended to study in advance some additional requirements needed regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, so as not to waste time at the airport.

No need to worry, because for every person who will travel by airplane, Angkasa Pura as the airport manager has provided an application that can be easily accessed by prospective passengers before leaving for the airport.

Thus, it is expected that the time of the existence of the community at the airport with all the new things can remain efficient.

That is all some of the new requirements that are in place for those who will travel by plane.

Many new things will be encountered at the airport in connection with health protocols in an effort to tackle the spread of the Covid-19 virus pandemic. Please understand, because all of that aims to maintain the safety and security of flying and the health of passengers.
