London Southend Airport has successfully completed the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council Aviation Recovery Taskforce (CART) ‘Take-Off’ Guidance for Air Travel.
The work of the ICAO CART is aimed at providing practical, aligned guidance to governments and industry operators in order to restart the international air transport sector and recover from the impacts of COVID-19 on a coordinated global basis.
Measures are based around three key considerations;
• Remain Focused on Fundamentals: Safety, Security, and Efficiency
• Promote Public Health and Confidence among Passengers, Aviation Workers, and the General Public
• Recognize Aviation as a Driver of Economic Recovery
Following an on-site visit to London Southend Airport in July, the CAA and Public Health England determined that the airport has implemented the guidance material successfully completing the scheme.
Glyn Jones, CEO of London Southend Airport, “Throughout the challenges of the pandemic, London Southend Airport has maintained its priority on safety. Investments into new covid safety measures were added in Summer 2020 and these procedures remain in place to protect passengers and employees whilst the industry recovers.
We are proud to confirm that the airport has completed the ICAO CART Assurance Scheme and would like to take this opportunity to thank our dedicated employees who have worked tirelessly throughout this challenging time.”
