Lao Airlines and Lao Skyway
Receive LaoSafe Certification
(07/10/22)
Lao Airlines and Lao Skyway
have both received LaoSafe certification.
The two airlines have been fully
certified under the SafeFlight standard, one of a series of health
and hygiene certifications under the LaoSafe programme.
SafeFlight
ensures that cabin crew and flight staff abide by strict hygiene
regulations to ensure a clean and comfortable flight for
passengers.
"The LaoSafe certification has allowed us to
demonstrate our commitment to safe and clean hygiene travel
standards for everyone," said Mr Sitthideth Douangsiththy,
Deputy Director of Lao Airlines. "Building trust among local and
international flyers with the certification on board, our cabin
crew follow the LaoSafe hygiene standards, giving passengers the
cleanest possible experience."
According to the SafeFlight standards, all airline
personnel must follow health and hygiene protocols set in place
for maximum cleanliness.
This includes undergoing daily
temperature screening, frequent environmental cleaning and
disinfection, wearing masks in the airport and for the duration of
the flights, wearing gloves when handling travellers' personal
belongings, regularly washing hands, and providing safety
amenities to passengers.
Col Siviengthong Konnyvong, CEO of Lao Skyway,
said, "Lao Skyway is extremely proud of earning the LaoSafe
certification. Tourists can be assured that their travels in Laos
abide by the highest hygiene standards."
Implemented by the Laos Ministry of Information,
Culture and Tourism, and approved by the Ministry of Health, LaoSafe is a nationwide initiative designed to create a
world-class health and hygiene system within the tourism and
hospitality industry.
Sector-specific standards have been developed for
accommodation, food and beverage, tour guides and drivers, to
raise the benchmark of hygiene provision throughout the country
and to build international confidence in Laos as a safe tourist
destination.
The LaoSafe programme is supported by the Skills
for Tourism Project (LAO/029), which is co-financed by the
governments of the Lao PDR, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and
Switzerland, and implemented by the Ministry of Education and
Sports of Laos and LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation
Agency.
