NEW DELHI : With domestic airline operations set to resume from airports across all major cities from 25 May, the new standard operating protocols (SOPs) put in place on Wednesday reviewed by Mint, calls for passenger boarding and disembarkation in batches as per seating arrangements in the aircraft to avoid crisscrossing inside the aircraft.
The long list of do’s and dont’s starts from one’ home itself. Given that initially the airlines may only allow web check-ins, the passengers will need to print their boarding passes and check-in baggage tickets before they start for the airport.
Flying will never be the same again. From disallowing newspapers and magazines in the terminal building and lounges; to making it compulsory for passengers to have Arogya Setu App on their mobiles, the Indian flyer will have to conform to a new normal which almost sounds dystopian.
