The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) <\/a><\/u>has published the regulations for flying in times of coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The document, entitled \u201cProviding a safe and sanitary operating environment for passengers and crew,\u201d establishes a protocol for flights in these new conditions.<\/p>\n

The goal is for passengers to not have physical contact with each other. As of now, traveling will only be allowed with a backpack or bag that fits under the seat in front of the passenger.<\/p>\n

According to ICAO, the reason for the measure is related to the fact that both when boarding or getting off the aircraft, the placement and removal of carry-on bags causes numerous reasons for contact between people, regardless of the need to ask for help\u2015not uncommon\u2015or in the end delivering the suitcase so that it finally travels in what Cubans call \u201cthe belly of the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n
