While the risk of catching an infection on an aircraft is typically lower than in a shopping center or an office environment, there are simple measures you can take to further reduce the risk when traveling: wear a mask, clean your hands regularly and check-in online to minimize contact at the airport.
And important to know: nearly all planes today have a very sophisticated air filters which catch 99.99% of particles, including viruses like COVID-19. The cabin air is also replaced with new fresh air from outside every two to three minutes. This means that what you breathe onboard is the same quality as in an operating room at a hospital.

Put it all together and flying remains one of the safest travel alternatives even during COVID-19.

While you must not travel when you are ill, should you experience respiratory symptoms during or after a trip, seek medical attention and share your travel history with your health care provider.
When traveling with Buraq Air, following certain safety precautions can help your flight go more smoothly and reduce the risk of danger, should an emergency situation arise. Buraq Air provides both printed and verbal safety instructions at the start of each flight.

Your safety

Your safety has always been our highest priority. As routes slowly open and we take to the skies once more, it’s important you feel reassured and confident about your well being when you fly with us. Find out about the measures we’re taking to protect you at every step of your journey.

Check-in

When you enter the airport you’ll need to wear a face mask. You don’t have to wear gloves, but it is recommended.

Only people who are travelling can enter the airport, unless you have a disability and need assistance to travel.

Boarding

At the boarding gate, we’ve introduced measures to maintain social distancing in our seating areas, and dots on the floor help everyone to keep a safe distance in the queues approaching the gate.

Our team will be wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE) as they welcome you on the flight. We’re boarding the aircraft in smaller groups from the last row to the first, and our boarding gate areas are deep cleaned once everyone is on the flight.

You will need to keep your mask on at all times in the airport, during boarding and on board. Â
