ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 01: Passengers check in for a Qantas flight at Adelaide Airport on April 01, 2020 in Adelaide, Australia. The Australian government has introduced further restrictions on movement and gatherings in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Public gatherings are now limited to two people, while Australians are being urged to stay home unless absolutely necessary. New South Wales and Victoria have also enacted additional measures to allow police the power to fine people who breach the two-person outdoor gathering limit or leave their homes without a reasonable excuse. Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory have all closed their borders to non-essential travellers and international arrivals into Australia are being sent to mandatory quarantine in hotels for 14 days.

Australia’s Qantas group released new guidelines for passengers traveling onboard its planes, in preparation for eased travel restrictions, according to a statement on Tuesday.

From June 12, passengers check in will be contactless, while hand sanitizer will be provided at check-in and departure gates.

While onboard, passengers will be provided with face masks. The statement says wearing a mask is not mandatory — just recommended to give everyone peace of mind.

Passengers will board and disembark in sequences to minimize crowding. They will also be provided with sanitizing wipes to use in flight.

“Qantas and Jetstar aircraft are already fitted with hospital-grade HEPA filters, which remove 99.9% of all particles including viruses. Air inside the cabin is refreshed on average every five minutes during flight,” the statement added.
