AAI-GVK group-run Mumbai airport on Saturday announced a slew of safety measures for resumption of commercial air passenger services in the post-lockdown period.
The airport has formulated SOPs for post-lockdown safety of passengers such as social distancing, stringent thermal screening, positioning temporary quarantine centres, sanitising and disinfecting the airport to ensure the safety and well-being of the passengers once operations resume, Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) said in a release.
MIAL is the joint venture company that manages and operates the Mumbai airport.
To ensure precautions at the airport, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) plans to maintain social distancing through distinctive markings at both the terminals — T1 and T2— maintaining 1.5 meters distance between each passenger, according to the social distancing norms issued by aviation regulator DGCA, MIAL said.
The special markings will be spread across the entry gate, check-in counters, self-check-in kiosks, security checkpoints, food courts, lounge area and the boarding area amongst others.
Furthermore, the seating arrangements at the food court as well as in the terminal building will be reshuffled to maintain social distancing.
