Upon embarking, every passenger receives disinfecting wipes. The company’s magazines have been removed from the aircraft, and contactless payment is recommended for any onboard purchases.

At the same time, passengers are encouraged to follow the social distancing rules and make all purchases prior to the flight, such as the hold luggage, online, the company said.
