(TAN): Etihad Airways has launched an innovative protective wear for First and Business class guests.
As a part of Etihad Wellness, the new health and hygiene programme, premium passengers will receive a snood style facemask for use throughout their journey and beyond.
The soft reusable snood has been treated with MicrobeBARRIER™ fabric treatment, a broad spectrum antimicrobial treatment, laboratory tested and proven to reduce the presence of germs in fabrics. With this long-lasting protective layer, the snoods are washable and reusable, making them environmentally friendly.

Travellers can choose to wear the snood around their neck like a scarf and when in close proximity to others, pull it up over their mouth and nose to protect themselves and those around them. Made out of lightweight, breathable and stretchable jersey fabric, the snood is comfortable and ideal for travel because it can be easily slipped on and off as needed.
The MicrobeBARRIER™ treated snood is one of the many initiatives Etihad has introduced to create a healthier and cleaner environment during commute.
