AIRASIA Malaysia (AK) with immediate effect today announced an exemption to the wearing of masks on its flights, following the government’s announcement that masks were no longer mandatory for air travel.
In a statement, AirAsia said the use of masks onboard flights was optional for AK guests unless they were travelling to or from destinations that required a face mask.
Nevertheless, guests who wished to wear masks onboard could continue to do so.
“All our aircraft are equipped with powerful HEPA filters that remove 99.99% of dust particles and airborne contaminants, including viruses and bacteria.
“The cabin air is completely refreshed every three minutes to ensure the highest possible quality of air throughout your flight,” it said.
Yesterday, the health ministry announced that the wearing of masks onboard aircraft was no longer compulsory after taking into consideration that aircraft technology had improved and Covid-19 cases in Malaysia had been brought under better control. – Bernama, September 29, 2022.
