Videoage International May 2020

22 Event Planner & Travel News May 2020 The New “Normal” For Air Travel A rriving at a convention by airplane could be considered one of the weakest links against COVID-19. However, according to one of VideoAge ’s airline insiders, “It appears that the airline in- dustry is going to try to imple- ment some sort of safe docu- ment for passengers to present indicating they are OK to board a plane. In addition, Delta, for one, is eliminating the middle seat and trying to stagger seat- ed passengers.”
 The U.S. airlines have also added a “fogging process” that releases a disinfectant and viru- cide into all planes on trans-Pa- cific and trans-Atlantic flights. Finally, officials for the World Health Organization have stat- ed that “research has shown that there is very little risk of any communicable disease be- ing transmitted on board an aircraft because of planes’ high- efficiency particulate air filters.” (VIRTUAL) L.A.
