Low-cost airline Wizz Air requires passengers to wear protective masks throughout the flight, starting May 1.
Thus, the airline operator is introducing additional hygiene measures from May to ensure the health and well-being of customers and crews.
Explaining that the HEPA filters of all Wizz Air aircraft filter 99.7% of viruses and bacteria from the cabin air, the company warns that the crew, as well as the passengers, will still be required to wear masks throughout the flight.
Additionally, on-board magazines will be eliminated and contactless payment will be encouraged during on-board shopping.
On flights where the load factor allows, the crew will supervise the distancing of seats between passengers.
