Reviving the aviation industry is going to mean a very different flight experience than before the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The European Center for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on Wednesday sent out draft safety guidelines to capitals, obtained by POLITICO<\/a>, aimed at allowing air travel to resume while keeping the risk of coronavirus transmission low.<\/p>\n

They sketch out a host of changes, from keeping some seats unoccupied, to wearing masks while flying, only allowing passengers into terminals and not permitting people to line up in cabins to use the toilet.<\/p>\n

Airlines and operators are keen to restart Europes air travel industry which has been largely grounded since March due to the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The European Commission issued<\/a> its own broad travel recommendations on Wednesday, but called for a joint effort by EASA and ECDC to develop specific rules for air travel.<\/p>\n

\nThe document recommends face masks for the whole journey, and for passengers to fill out health questionnaires and location cards.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some of the ideas are going to be very unpopular in the industry.<\/p>\n

The guidelines say \u201cwhere allowed by the passenger load, cabin configuration and mass and balance requirements, airlines should ensure, to the extent possible, physical distancing among passengers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although some airlines such as Lufthansa and TAP Air Portugal have instituted such empty-row policies, most carriers are opposed, arguing it is ineffective and hurts their bottom lines. The guidance stops short of mandating a distance between passengers and adds a caveat that airlines should only do so if they can.<\/p>\n

If social distancing isnt possible, \u201cpassengers and crew members on board an aircraft should adhere at all times to all the other preventive measures including hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette and wearing a face mask,\u201d the guidelines say.<\/p>\n

The guidelines also recommend leaving two rows empty to serve as a makeshift \u201cisolation area\u201d for passengers who show COVID-19 symptoms on board.<\/p>\n

The guidelines say temperature checks \u2014 a policy embraced by the industry \u2014 are \u201cnot effective or efficient in detecting COVID-19 introductions or in delaying or mitigating a pandemic,\u201d adding that its a \u201chigh-cost low-efficiency measure.\u201d<\/p>\n

They also dismiss the idea of so-called immunity passports showing that passengers are free of COVID-19 before being able to board. The measure \u201cis not supported by the currently existing scientific knowledge,\u201d the guidelines say, but add that both regulators \u201care monitoring the scientific developments and will update the recommendation as appropriate when a suitable test becomes available.\u201d<\/p>\n

The document recommends face masks for the whole journey, and for passengers to fill out health questionnaires and location cards, allowing governments to track down people who might have come into contact with the infection.<\/p>\n

There would also be changes aboard airplanes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAirlines should put measures into place to avoid passengers queuing in the aisle or the galleys for the use of the lavatories,\u201d the draft says, a policy<\/p>\n
