MUMBAI: Fliers in the next few months may be advised to carry only one baggage item, reach airports earlier than usual, be thermal scanned while departing and arriving, and stand at designated areas at every place from check-in counters to food and beverage outlets.
These are some of the key points being discussed for airports when they open up to receive flights and passengers once air travel restrictions are lifted after the extended lockdown to contain the spread of Covid-19 pandemic, people aware of the developments told ET.
Airlines and airport operators are formulating scenarios for resumption of operations, and the other guidelines being discussed include passengers mandatorily carrying medical certificates to airports and being supplied with masks and gloves on board.
