As flights will resume in the coming days' precautionary measures have been taken. Low-cost carrier AirAsia has introduced new personal protective equipment (PPE) for its cabin crews to be used on duty.
Flight attendants will be required to wear the PPE on all of the carrier's domestic and international flights.
Designed in collaboration with Filipino fashion designer Puey Quinones, the PPE suits, which were launched last Friday (April 24) during a recovery flight from Bangkok to Manila, embrace the airline's signature red-hot colour and have reportedly been approved by the Philippines' Department of Health.
According to Mr Quinones' Instagram account, the Los Angeles-based designer has been busy designing and manufacturing PPE suits for hospitals as well as brands such as AirAsia following the outbreak of the coronavirus.
On April 17, AirAsia announced it is set to resume scheduled domestic flights commencing with Malaysia on Wednesday (April 29), followed by Thailand on Friday (May 1), India (May 4), Indonesia (May 7) and the Philippines (May 16), subject to approval from authorities.
