British Airways has introduced a number of measures at the airport and on board to look after the safety and wellbeing of its customers and colleagues
British Airways’ first passenger flight BA36 between Chennai and London, suspended since May 2020, resumes from September 2, 2021. The flight is scheduled to depart at 05:31hrs and land in London at 11:50hrs.
The return of this direct flight from Chennai to the UK is really important in reuniting people with their loved ones who have been kept apart due to Covid-19. This direct connection also provide seamless travel options for students who want to pursue further studies overseas.
Moran Birger, British Airways’ Head of Sales for South Asia, Middle East and Africa said: “We can’t wait to welcome our customers on board our flights and are delighted to be able to reunite families and friends with their loved ones after such a long time apart.
“The safety of our customers and colleagues has always been at the heart of everything we do. We have also introduced a range of measures to provide stress and hassle-free travel.”
The air on all British Airways flights is fully recycled once every two to three minutes through HEPA filters, which remove microscopic bacteria and virus clusters with over 99.9% efficiency, equivalent to hospital operating theatre standards
British Airways has also introduced a number of measures at the airport and on board to look after the safety and wellbeing of its customers and colleagues. These include social distancing measures, the wearing of face masks (which remain in place) and hand sanitiser stations.
