Lax Indian airlines spark worries of Covid-19 infection in jampacked skies
NEW DELHI : Airlines in India’s chaotic airports are failing to meet the aviation regulator’s guidelines to prevent the spread of Covid-19, especially on domestic routes and probably fearing flight delays, industry experts said.
That is a far cry from rigorous measures being followed by many of their global rivals, who have implemented additional measures beyond what regulators have prescribed.
US-based airlines like Delta and United Airlines have doubled down on efforts to contain Covid-19. These include regular cleaning programmes after almost every flight in addition to a 60-90-minute fogging process to disinfect the interiors.
