But, take it easy😉 in this article I will provide an explanation of what are the regulations that apply during this pandemic in the world of aviation, check this out !! 

The corona virus pandemic that is currently hitting hundreds of countries has also had an impact on the world of aviation. This condition has reshaped the way people travel, from swab tests to enforcing distances from each seat. Airlines around the world are expected to face a long road to recovery from the pandemic. Closure of borders and restrictions on air travel due to Covid-19, compounded by concerns about travel in overcrowded and confined spaces. The corona virus pandemic is not yet going to make the world of aviation jump again, at least in the near future. But experts believe public confidence can be restored by making travel experiences as safe as possible. This means that travelers must be accustomed to rigorous medical examinations.

Launching CNA, here are five flight rules that have begun to get used to during the corona virus pandemic:

First, empty the middle seat. Several airlines, including Garuda Indonesia, made empty middle seats. In the United States, Delta Air Lines, Southwes Airlines and JetBlue Airways also block seats due to social distancing considerations. Recent research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology estimates that blo

cking middle seats on planes could reduce the risk of being infected by the coronavirus, assuming that all passengers wear masks.

Second, minimizing interactions. Not only fewer passengers, but less interaction. On Garuda flights, the crew maintains a safe distance from the time the passenger boarded the plane, the passenger sat down, until the plane landed.

Third, inflight service. The airline promised to continue to serve passengers well. But, with the new reality, service will look different. Singapore Airlines, for example, has suspended food services for flights in Southeast Asia and to China. When boarding, passengers are given a snack bag with water and drinks instead. Newspapers, magazines and literature on the back seat have also been removed from SIA's aircraft and replaced with its e-library, which is available via the SingaporeAir mobile app.

Fourth, Must wear a mask. IATA strictly recommends that crew members and passengers wear masks, to minimize the risk of infection.

Fifth, covid-19 testing. As the global journey continues, Covid-19 testing may become the new normal. IATA says that this should, ideally happen before the trip or the moment of departure. A positive result means that the passenger is unable to travel as planned. If testing is required on arrival and the passenger tests positive, it must be treated according to the requirements of the receiving country.
