Die US Airlines werden freiwillig den Ticketpreis bei Fieber zurückerstatten …
Es gibt scheinbar Leute, die mit Krankheitssymptomen von Covid-19 rumlaufen und sogar fliegen wollen. In den USA überlegt man die Einführung von Temperaturchecks.
Die großen US Airlines (Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Atlas Air, Delta Air Lines, FedEx, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines) haben eine Absichtserklärung dazu abgegeben. Man wird Passagieren mit Fieber freiwillig die Tickets rückerstatten:
„Today, Airlines for America (A4A), the industry trade organization for the leading U.S. airlines, announced that its member carriers will voluntarily pledge to refund tickets for any passenger who is found to have an elevated temperature — as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines — during a screening process conducted by federal authorities prior to travel. … Temperature checks are one of several public health measures recommended by the CDC amid the COVID-19 pandemic and will add an extra layer of protection for passengers as well as airline and airport employees. Temperature checks also will provide additional public confidence that is critical to relaunching air travel and our nation’s economy. As all screening processes for the traveling public are the responsibility of the U.S. government, having temperature checks performed by the TSA will ensure that procedures are standardized, providing consistency across airports so that travelers can plan appropriately.“

Mit Krankheitssymptomen zu fliegen, finde ich äußerst heftig und schäbig. Gerade in der derzeitigen Lage. Diese Entscheidung der US Airlines bei einer etwaigen Einführung einer Temperaturkontrolle zurückzuerstatten ist äußerst zu begrüßen. Sie nimmt den Druck eines finanziellen Verlustes raus.
