Hanoi (Vietnam) – February 11, 2020 (travelindex.com) – Vietjet Thailand has strengthened its measures against the coronavirus outbreak and disinfected all aircraft to prevent the spread of the disease and bolster passenger confidence in their safety. The entire fleet has been disinfected and cleaned according to the standards of the Thai Ministry of Public Health and the World Health Organization to ensure passenger safety.

The aircraft were sprayed with disinfectants in accordance with Aerospace Standard (AMS) 1452. Each spraying lasted 15 minutes, followed by a 30-minute sterilization period. To curb the spread of the coronavirus, Vietjet Thailand's cabin crew had already been permitted to wear masks and gloves and were instructed to clean the cabin interiors more frequently on each flight.
