The safety of staff and passengers is a priority, and measures are already in place to protect people’s health and safety when travelling by air. All airports are encouraged to follow Public Health England guidance on preventing the spread of COVID-19. PHE has also provided specific guidance on health and safety for flight crews. The advice for travellers is the same as for the rest of the UK population. The Government’s “stay at home” posters are on display at all UK airports and many airports have the messaging on digital screens as well. Airports and airlines have also been provided with PHE leaflets to give to passengers outlining the symptoms of COVID-19, current guidance, and general public health advice.
