Want to fly after this lockdown? Get a doctor’s certificate
New Delhi | Mumbai: A doctor’s appointment may soon be mandatory before you or your family members board a flight after the lifting of the lockdown and resumption of normal life which is expected some time in June. And while you are at it, cooling your heels in the doctor’s waiting room, you may also want to buy up gloves, face masks and disposable caps for the oncoming air journey. Sounds surreal? Not really!
A team of airport and airline officials, doctors and government bureaucrats will soon discuss these and other measures to ensure passenger safety in mid-air after normal life resumes. This technical committee is formulating standard operating procedures (SOP) for passengers and flight staff and will soon come out with its recommendations.
