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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
