AZAL introduces new rules for passengers, although no flights yet

Baku/12.06.20/Turan: New rules for passenger transportation to be implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic have been developed in Azerbaijan. According to them, the following measures are introduced at Heydar Aliyev International Airport for departing passengers:

- Only departing passengers are allowed to enter the airport terminal building;

- Before entering the terminal building, passengers undergo a general disinfection procedure through special equipment - a disinfecting corridor;

- Passengers should wear medical facemasks in the terminal building. In the absence of medical facemasks, airport personnel shall give them to passengers;

- At the entrance to the terminal, passengers’ body temperature will be measured; they will be denied boarding if their temperature hits 37.5 degrees Celsius;

- Security screening procedures will be conducted subject to maintenance of social distance. For this, there are special signs in the terminal;

-  Check-in queues are controlled by the specially designated airport personnel. You can check-in using self-service check-in kiosks (for “AZAL” and “Buta Airways” flights). In such a case, baggage can be handed over to an agent at the Bag Drop counter. To avoid queues, the airline recommends check-in online on the website or through the mobile application. After drop-off, passengers' baggage is disinfected and marked with a corresponding sticker;

When these rules will be applied is still unknown, because flights are not resumed. Only from June 18, internal flights between Baku and Nakhchivan begin. –06D-
