Local flight company, Air Peace has announced that all passengers and flight attendants would be subjected to thorough hand sanitisation at boarding gate to avoid the spread of coronavirus.
The Safety Manager of the airline, Captain Godfrey Ogbogu, made this known in a statement in Lagos.
He said that the airline had also introduced temperature checking for all passengers before boarding.
Ogbogu revealed that any passenger whose temperature reads above 38 degrees would not be allowed to board while a refund will be issued.
“We wish to state categorically that any passenger who fails to cooperate will be declined boarding on any of our flights.
“We want to assure the passengers that these exercises will be seamlessly carried out and passengers will not be inconvenienced in any way,” he said.
Ogbogu enjoined all passengers to cooperate with the airline, as the World Health Organisation (WHO) had declared COVID-19 a pandemic.
He disclosed that the airline’s aircraft was extensively sanitised before flying each day.
Ogbogu said the airline was cooperating with the Federal Government in fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
He, therefore, thanked all the airline’s customers for making it their airline of choice.
