AirlineRatings.com removes passenger worry via COVID-19 ratings

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 -- AirlineRatings.com has launched COVID-19 ratings, answering questions on airlines’ full protocol implementation and correct pilot training. The world's only safety and product rating website is giving passengers greater peace of mind with a refined safety rating system focused on passenger health during COVID-19 and an insight into crucial flight outcomes on hundreds of carriers. According to a statement, for a COVID-19 compliance star, airlines must pass four of six criteria. The criteria are website information on COVID-19 procedures; face mask for passengers; personal protection equipment for crew; modified meal service; deep clean of aircraft; and, social distancing on boarding. Completion or compliance of audits – ICAO, IOSA, EU black list and FAA restricted list – make up an additional star. While introducing the COVID-19 rating, AirlineRatings.com has refined its rating system to focus on serious incidents as a guide to an airline's operational performance and pilot training. AirlineRatings.com rates the safety and in-flight product of 380 airlines. More details at https://www.airlineratings.com/ -- BERNAMA
