“Ticket, passport … temperature”. From this Monday, May 11, Air France will control the temperature of its passengers, who will not be able to board if it is above 38 degrees, announced Saturday
the airline in a statement.
“Temperature controls will be gradually deployed on all flights operated by Air France from May 11,” the company said in connection with the coronavirus crisis. “This systematic verification will be carried out using non-contact infrared thermometers”. Customers with a temperature above 38 ° C “may be denied boarding and their reservation will be changed without charge for a later departure.”
Wearing a mandatory mask
Wearing a mask will also be compulsory for travel on Air France planes from Monday. On board the aircraft, the company space passengers “as much as possible”, the process being facilitated by the current low filling rate of the aircraft.
Cabin cleaning and disinfection procedures have been strengthened, and a virucidal product “with an established shelf life of 10 days” is sprayed “periodically” in the cabins. On-board drink and restaurant service is abolished for domestic and short flights in Europe.
Air France also said in its press release that the air recycling systems of its planes filter coronavirus-type viruses.
