August 13 - Skyscanner had launched new airline safety ratings to help travellers search for and choose flights based on the health and safety measures being undertaken by airlines, as well as what will be expected from passengers who fly with those providers.

Powered by AirlineRatings.com in an exclusive global partnership with Skyscanner, the at-a-glance ratings are based on each airline’s COVID-19 health and safety policies.

The initiative is part of our commitment to empower travellers to make decisions with confidence and support the industry’s recovery in these challenging, uncertain times.

 

 

Travellers will then discover an airline’s checklist of safety measures by clicking on one of their itineraries in the search results page.

The five measures, which are checked against all airlines, are:

• Mandatory face masks
• A daily deep-clean of the plane
• Flight crew wearing PPE
• Cleaning wipes provided
• A change to the food service

Each airline gets a score out of five, which is displayed on their itineraries. For multiple airlines in an itinerary, the score is an average between the two.

 

 

Skyscanner has launched the ratings based on in-depth customer insights relating to flight safety concerns in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A June survey* of over 850 travellers highlighted that an airline’s approach to passenger and crew wellbeing was the most important element to help reduce traveller anxiety and inform flight selection, followed by health screening processes and enhanced cabin cleaning.
