European Union regulators called on passengers to wear face masks, observe physical distancing and frequently wash their hands in new guidelines for air travel in the age of Covid-19.
Significant changes will also be needed for airlines and airports, EU aviation and health agencies said in a statement Wednesday. Carriers and airport operators must ensure that passengers keep a distance of 1.5 meters (five feet) from each other when feasible. When that isn’t possible, extra measures such as hand washing and “respiratory etiquette” must be implemented.
