![]() The purpose of the guidelines issued by EASA and the ECDC is to provide guidance for airport operators and owners, airlines and airport authorities for the gradual and safe restart of passenger traffic. Certain protective measures are required for this, in order to safeguard the health of passengers and staff, thus reducing the risk of the spread of coronavirus at the airport and on board aircraft. In the current pandemic situation, airport operators, together with their ground handling partners, must guarantee the safe presence of passengers at the airport. Although the measures put forward by international guidelines require great efforts by airports, with their help, health risks relating to the pandemic whilst at the airport can be minimized. The guidelines cover all phases of the journey, and apply, amongst others, to arrival at the airport, the check-in process, security screening, boarding, baggage reclaim, passport and border control. The recently issued protocol emphasizes the importance of the following, amongst other things:
Budapest Airport already introduced the above measures weeks ago, in the interest of safeguarding the health and safety of passengers and staff. Budapest Airport became a reputable first mover in implementing all kinds of coronavirus-related health measures, demonstrating how safe the airport can be implemented during the pandemic. "In the current situation, we have two important tasks, firstly, to make presence at the airport safe and risk-free for passengers and our colleagues alike, and, secondly, to rebuild trust for air travel amongst passengers, with these measures, after the pandemic has died down," said Dr. Rolf Schnitzler, the CEO of Budapest Airport Zrt. He added: "In addition to actively helping to set various guidelines for safe air travel, we also continuously ensure that we should be able to safeguard the health of our passengers and staff, in line with applicable regulations and international protocols. The guidelines issued by EASA have confirmed the measures that we introduced over the past weeks at Budapest Airport, well ahead of any official guidelines." ![]() ![]()
