In this new flight report I show you the experience of flying with Avianca Ecuador with its new protocols biosecurity.
After having restarted the flights regular domestic passengers in Ecuador, being the first subsidiary of Avianca Holdings to do so, the Ecuadorian airline began to fly between Quito and Guayaquil.
His planes took off again from the 15 June 2020 and I was part of the second flight of Avianca Ecuador thanks to the invitation of the airline in order to know how their biosafety protocols work called Avianca Biocare for the knowledge of all readers.
Flying with Avianca and the new biosafety protocols
It is important to remember that only the use of a mask is mandatory during the entire trip process, you can also bring your own alcohol-gel (there are many dispensers at airports), likewise Avianca makes the following additional recommendations:
- Make sure your carry-on luggage is as light as possible so that you can place it yourself in the compartments of the plane and thus maintain social distancing.
- Bring your personal items such as headphones or reading material to reduce handling of items on board.
- Make your check-in online and save your ticket on your mobile device or print it at home.
- Arrive earlier at the airport due to the fact that new security protocols and health checks have been implemented by the authorities, that could take longer than normal.
In waiting rooms the required social distancing is maintained, thanks to measures implemented by airports such as blocking seats for their use.
For the tranquility of travelers, Avianca airport personnel are equipped with masks and gloves as minimum protection.
In the process of boarding will be done in small groups, maintaining the required social distancing at the time of queuing.
You must be attentive to calls in the lounge and only approach the boarding area when your group is mentioned, the same as shown on the boarding pass.
It is always important to permanently wear a mask and carefully follow the announcements on board about safety measures and requirements that you must comply with during your flight.. There are several announcements about it during the flight.
One of the most important measures to remember is that aircraft have the HEPA filters, that they retain on him 99.9% of viruses and particles, that together with the air recycling system inside the aircraft each 3 minutes, ensure a suitable environment for passengers.
An important recommendation is that you try to travel as “light” as possible., avoiding carrying many items or a heavy carry-on bag, remember that now the cabin crew will not be able to help you raise it to the upper compartment to guarantee social separation and manipulation of objects.
In case there is food service on your route, it will be different from what we remember, being this in individual packages. You can also request disinfectant towels and alcohol-gel on board.
To close this new adventure, it is important to talk about the aircraft disinfection process, which includes cleaning surfaceswith products endorsed by manufacturers, where are they cleaned:chairs, light controls, buttons for calling cabin crew members, luggage compartment handles located above the seats, adjacent walls, windows and shutters, toilets, safe, lavatory, tap, sink and adjacent walls, among others.
Finally, In deep cleaning processes, the environment will be disinfected with specialized spray equipment purchased by the airline for this purpose..
