SIA announces pre-flight and on-board protective measures

The announcement came after the government's decision to further ease the restrictions on inbound travel from selected countries.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has introduced new health and safety protective measures to reduce COVID-19 risks as it prepares for more travel activities, the airline announced in a press release.

Customers may be required to provide a complete health declaration before their flight. To minimise contact, the airline has also introduced an online check-in system and pre-ordering of duty-free shopping via krisshop.com. The group welcomed the government’s decision to ease restrictions on inbound travel on selected countries.

“The recovery of air travel and airfreight is a necessary catalyst for the recovery of global trade and economies severely impacted by COVID-19,” SIA group said in a statement.

“Today’s announcement is an important step towards the gradual rebuilding of the Singapore air hub,” the group added.

The group shared that it has arranged complimentary SIA care kits and designated seating zones on-board.

Moreover, passengers from Southeast Asia and Mainland China will be offered a snack bag instead of a meal tray due to regulatory requirements, the press release said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
