The health and safety of our passengers and personnel has always been our first priority. As the world opens up, find out about the new measures we're putting in place to give even greater peace of mind when you take to the skies.
FACE MASK
Face mask is obligatory for all passengers and optional for infants, however you are allowed to remove it so that you can drink water or consume the offered snack. It is recommended that this process be as short as possible so that you and your co-passengers feel safe and secure. Please make sure you bring your own mask as you will need to wear it, from check-in up until after your disembarkation at your destination as well as during the flight. Gloves are not obligatory. During flight and flight preparation, cabin crew are requested to wear protective face mask. Please note that visor masks are allowed only if they are used in combination with a mask. Ffp2 and ffp3 high respiratory protection masks with valve are not allowed since they filter the inhale air and not the exhale air.
CHILDREN AND MASK
Like most airlines, we follow the guidelines and the restriction measures provided by the Official Authorities. Among the instructions is the one for the obligatory use of a mask for all passengers and children. For children aged 0-6 years old, the use of the mask is optional.
ONBOARD SERVICE
The service on board procedure has been adjusted in order to secure the safety and protection of all of us.
AIRCAFT CLEANING AND SANITISING
Our aircrafts cleaning teams are trained to meet our high cleanliness standards to provide our passengers and crew with a safe and comfortable onboard experience.
Our aircrafts are cleaned after each and every flight using a high-grade registered disinfecting product that has been tested to be effective against viruses.
For all flights, cleaning teams are required to complete a rigorous checklist for cabin cleanliness including disinfecting cabin surfaces and passengers contact areas such as seats, seatback pockets, door handles, tray tables, inflight and floors.
All common area surfaces in galleys and lavatories are also disinfected using the same high-grade disinfectant.
When our Cabin Crew boards an aircraft they follow a series of procedures, including a visual check of the cabin, toilets and galleys to ensure a clean cabin environment.
We would like to inform you that based on the Greek Government’s decision, it is compulsory for all incoming (regardless of Nationality) and all outgoing (only permanent residents of Greece) passengers on international flight to any airport in Greece are obliged to have completed the special Passenger Locator Form (PLF) latest the day before departure flight, as defined by the Greek Government.
