Air quality for domestic aircraft flights

BuildSpark
Hi guys,


I'll be needing to take some domestic airline flights between Europeans countries when the border restrictions are lifted.  I was just wondering if anyone can shed some light on aircraft air filtering systems and are they geared up to stop the transmission of SARS-cov-2 (Covid-19)?  Thanks.

    As I understand it cabin air circulation does not include UV or HEPA filtering. On that basis, and general proximity anyway, I think you should travel iff you are happy to accept  there is a significant risk of infection, and can plan your 'what to do  if I get it ' process accordingly.

    If you are in a high risk group, or in good shape but going to somewhere where care would not be available if you needed it, maybe you should set your affairs in order first, or not go. On the other hand  there are destinations in the world where there are higher risks from other things and people still go there.

    I imagine insurance premiums for cabin crew will be a good guide to the real risk.
