Emirates is stepping up precautionary measures at the airport and on board to ensure the health and safety of its employees and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All cabin crew, boarding agents and ground staff in direct contact with passengers will now don personal protective equipment (PPE) which includes a protective disposable gown over their uniforms, and a safety visor, in addition to masks and gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Dubai International airport, gloves and masks are mandatory for all customers and employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thermal scanners monitor the temperatures of all passengers and employees stepping into the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Physical distancing indicators have been placed on the ground and at waiting areas to help travellers maintain the necessary distance during check-in and boarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The airport team has also installed protective barriers at each check-in desk to provide additional safety reassurance to passengers and employees during interaction over the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On board Emirates\u2019 flights, seats are pre-allocated with vacant seats placed between individual passengers or family groups in observance of physical distancing protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emirates has also modified its inflight services for health and safety reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Food and beverages continue to be offered in the form of bento-styled boxes to reduce contact between the crew and customers during meal service and minimise the risk of interaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
