Fear of contracting the virus: almost a day in a closed plane
According to the American news agency Bloomberg, although Singapore, which is a trade center in Southeast Asia, closed its borders months ago, it has gradually eased the restrictions that allow foreigners to fly to other countries through its airport.
Aside from the limitations of flight, there is also the issue of health in such an ultra-long flight, when fears of the chances of being infected with the corona virus are high.
Singapore Airlines hopes that passengers will be able to relax and take comfort thanks to the cleanliness of its aircraft, the air filtration systems it uses in the Airbus A350-900 aircraft that will be used for the long flights and of course the face masks that passengers will wear.
"There are some optimistic early signs of a recovery on flights," Lee Lik Hsin, senior vice president of Singapore Airlines, said.
"Our customers say they are increasingly confident about air travel, given the strong health and safety measures available, as well as the testing actions that protect them and our staff."
Singapore Airlines will operate on the line, as mentioned, the long-haul Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
The aircraft has a configuration of 42 seats in business class, 24 in economy class premium and 187 in economy class.
