The Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) announced earlier this week, “The industry’s efforts have succeeded in greatly reducing the possibility of transmission [of COVID-19] in airports and on aircraft.” Based on a six-month analysis, the foundation said, “The traveling public should have increased confidence that it’s safe to fly.”
Flight Safety Foundation’s Conclusion: It’s Safe to Fly
Key Takeaways:
- A six-month analysis by the Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) indicates that industry efforts have significantly reduced the possibility of COVID-19 transmission in airports and on aircraft, making air travel "extraordinarily low" risk and safe.
- The low risk is attributed to robust cleaning and sanitization measures, strict adherence to social distancing, and modern aircraft design featuring frequent cabin air changes and HEPA filtering systems.
- The FSF urges governments to replace "haphazard, restrictive international travel bans and blanket quarantines" with uniform, smarter measures focused on reliable testing to prevent virus spread and facilitate international travel.
