Albinati Aeronautics, the Swiss operator with bases in Geneva and Malta, has informed its customers that it remains operational throughout the current crisis.
“With the outbreak of COVID-19, we want our customers to know that our crew members and our ground personnel have been equipped, instructed and trained to mitigate and reduce to the lowest the risks inherent to travelling these days,” writes CEO Stefano Albinati. “We have implemented a series of policies to protect our employees and their families by adopting the remote working mode to the maximum extent, our partners, and our customers, by either adopting new measures or by strengthening those already in place.
- Disinfection level of our aircraft interior with appropriate products has been raised to the maximum.
- Our whole fleet of aircraft is equipped with Universal Precaution kits and is covered with MedAire – on-board immediate medical assistance for the benefit of our passengers and crew members.
- Our crewmembers are trained on the measures to put in place and the assistance to be provided if a passenger becomes unwell. They are also fully aware and prepared to protect our customers and themselves from viruses and bacteria and are equipped with all necessary and appropriate items such as gloves, hand sanitizers, and disinfectants for cabin surfaces, etc.
- Our crewmembers are fully aware and trained on the measures to adopt to protect our customers, the aircraft and themselves from viruses and bacteria.
- Our personnel have been instructed on the hygienic measures to be adopted and have been equipped with the adequate personal sanitizer products. They are aware of the World Health Organisation recommendations, as well as of the Government recommendations of the visited countries on health and hygiene best practices. They are closely monitored and we make sure chartered aircraft and crew do not visit highly affected areas.
- Our companies fully comply with authorities as regards Passenger Locator forms.
- Our aircraft scheduling is under strict control in order to reduce time on the ground to the minimum.
- We have stopped flying into those countries highly affected by COVID-19.
Albinati Aeronautics and Albinati Aviation have been awarded the Argus Platinum Certification, meaning that the highest standards of safety are embedded in their daily routine. With the virus taking hold, Europe and the rest of the world are being forced into isolation. Destinations become more and more limited, depending on each country’s daily civil restrictions. With ever growing difficulties, the company must adapt on a daily basis according to these restrictions and be able to cope with the nationality, provenance, destination of its passengers and its aircraft.
