MANILA, Philippines — Budget airline Cebu Pacific Air (CEB) will be implementing new sanitation protocols and intensified preventive measures, as it prepares for the resumption of commercial passenger operations, following quarantine restrictions caused by the new coronavirus disease.
“We are implementing additional procedures to assure our passengers and give them the confidence to travel again. Rolling out ‘contactless flights’ will minimize face-to-face contact between our ground staff and our passengers and observe physical distancing,” Candice Iyog, CEB vice president for marketing and customer experience, said in a statement.
She said all CEB pilots and cabin crew would undergo rapid antibody tests before they are assigned to operate flights. All operating crew and ground staff would also don personal protective equipment while on duty.
