Lovefly® Blog - Should You Fly During Pandemic?

 

Saw this great article on Buzz Feed News which attempts to answer the big question: Should I fly during a Pandemic?  How safe is it to fly during Covid 19?

Maybe you have been wondering this as well?  

This is a really important question for two groups of people:

Group 1 - Commercial Airlines who are being damaged by the Pandemic...historic levels of job losses and no huge sign of recovery in sight

Group 2 - Nervous flyers who are worried about catching Covid whilst flying. 

The article is here in full and well worth a read.

Our View

Commercial Aviation is all about safety and managing risks. We are on it.  If you fly at the moment, you will be quite surprised to see how much is in place to keep you safe.  Most importantly, what you can do to keep safe.

• Take own sanitizer and use it frequently
• Wear your mask
• Take your own water which you can buy at the airport on way through
• Bring your own snacks for the flight so you can be completely self sufficient

With the aircraft filters in place and regular air change, your risk is very, very low.  At some point, we need to start getting back to some normality...Manage the risk within your control and we will do our bit our end.
