The wearing of masks is mandatory– passengers may not board unless they are wearing the protective item.
According to Inframerica, which manages the terminal in the federal capital, with the reopening of the international area, the measures of Covid-19 prevention will intensify even further.
The terminal has been disinfected and provided with the required signage to maintain social distance, sanitizer gel points have been distributed all along the passenger’s route and the concessionaire’s civilian employees will take the temperature of passengers boarding and landing in Brasília.
“Our teams have been trained and we are redoubling our attention both in cleaning and in actions and technology that will provide comfort so that passengers may travel safely. This is an important flight that connects our country’s capital to Portugal, a connection hub to several European cities,” said Roberto Luiz, head of air business at Inframerica.
