Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ largest national flag carrier, has been rated 7/7 stars by global airline quality rating company AirlineRatings.com for its compliance with the safety measures against coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
With the airline’s multi-layered approach to safety, the rating company highlighted how CEB perfectly scored in its seven categories, including Covid-19 website information and instructions, social distancing while boarding, flight attendant’s personal protection equipment, compulsory wearing of face masks, modified meal service, passenger’s sanitizer kit, and deep disinfection of aircraft.
To get a Covid-19 compliance star as part of the overall safety rating, airlines must pass four of these seven criteria. These standards are based on those set out by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), and the World Health Organisation (WHO) on regional and international safety guidelines.
CEB remains committed to prioritizing the safety of its passengers and personnel as it continues to implement enhanced bio-security preventive measures. These include daily extensive cleaning and disinfection protocols for all aircraft and facilities, antigen testing before duty for all frontliners and crew members, and contactless flight procedures.
These are all in accordance with global best practices and the highest safety standards. Aircraft are equipped with hospital-grade HEPA air filters, which make the inflight transmission of Covid-19 low or virtually non-existent.
