- As per the guidelines, airlines need not keep three seats vacant on international flights for medical emergencies and security personnel at airports can resume pat-down search of passengers.
- In the latest guidelines, the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) said that the restriction of keeping three seats vacant on international flights for handling medical emergencies related to COVID-19 stands removed.
- However, the ministry added that the airlines can carry a few additional PPE protective gears, sanitizer, and N-95 masks, to handle any respiratory infections related to cases on air, for passengers as well as the crew.
- The ministry also added that the use of face masks and maintenance of hand hygiene/sanitizer will continue to be mandatory
