Airline trade groups are making the case that the risk of getting COVID-19 on a flight is low. Here's what doctors have to say:
Access to many sites statewide had been closed during the coronavirus pandemic.
Ari Rastegar, a real estate investment executive from Austin, is among those who are ready to fly again. He stopped flying for business when the COVID-19 pandemic first hit the U.S. but he is now back to taking three or four airline trips a month. He wears a mask and wipes down surfaces with disinfectant.
Many of the nation’s airlines responded to the outbreak by adopting increased cleaning protocols and requiring passengers and flight crew members to wear face coverings. Delta Air Lines announced this week that it will keep the middle seats on planes empty through Sept. 30 to help create more distance between passengers. Other carriers, such as JetBlue, have also promised to keep the middle seat open.
Inside the cabin, filtered air mixed with outside air blows down on passengers from vents above the seats and escapes through vents under the seats. The system reduces the likelihood that germs and viruses can travel the length of the cabin, according to aviation industry experts.Advertisement
