(TAN): Air France on July 27 received a 5-star Covid-19 Airline Safety Rating from Skytrax, the international air transport rating agency, the airline said in a statement.
Since obtaining a 4-star rating in January 2021, the company has now attained the highest rating in this global benchmark for certifying Covid-19 air travel health and safety standards. Air France said it is the first major European airline to receive this award.
The rating agency evaluated the cleaning and disinfection procedures at the airport and on board aircraft, recycling of the cabin air, special signage and floor markings to ensure physical distancing, the compulsory wearing of masks, provision of hand sanitizer and an adapted service in the Air France lounges and on board aircraft.
