The civil aviation ministry has relaxed some pandemic-related restrictions in the wake of an improvement in the country’s Covid-19 situation. The relaxations have been given to facilitate the smooth conduct of air operations.
In an order issued on Monday, the civil aviation ministry said cabin crew members will no longer be required to wear PPE kits. “Airlines may carry a few additional PPE protective gears, sanitiser and N-95 masks, to handle any respiratory infections related to cases on air, for passengers as well as the crew,” the ministry’s order read.
However, the use of face masks and maintenance of hand hygiene/sanitiser will continue to remain mandatory.
