Travel may seem like an impossibility right now given the current circumstances, but with preparation and safety guidelines, the recovery of air travel may come sooner than expected.
Local airline Cebu Pacific has just released its new safety measures, and it's a peek into what those who need to travel can expect—from the mandatory things to wear for both airline employees and passengers, as well as new protocols. Keep these things in mind if ever you're booking a flight soon.

According to Cebu Pacific, "passengers will have to stow their own hand-carry bags in the overhead bins and practice self-disposal of trash."
Cebu Pacific spokesperson Charo Logarta-Lagamon has said in a previous interview that passengers will also be required to wear face masks.
Cebu Pacific's fleet is also equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Arrestor (HEPA) filters to block microscopic bacteria and virus clusters with "99.99% efficiency," which includes the novel coronavirus. They also frequently sanitize passenger surfaces in the airport like counters, boarding areas, and shuttle buses.
