Barig Airlines Anticipates A Large Passenger Flow

In anticipation of the commencement of this year’s Easter holiday season, airlines are once again altering their capacity in order to fulfill the always increasing demand for travel. The Board of Airline Representatives in Germany (BARIG) believes that the airlines are well-prepared for the forthcoming flood of tourists over the Easter holiday, despite the fact that the conditions are not ideal because to the continuing COVID-19 epidemic.

Michael Hoppe, Secretary General of the German airline organization, which represents more than 100 national and international airlines, said, “We are really pleased with the increase in demand.” Many individuals are looking forward to their approaching vacations and plans to travel by aircraft in order to finally rest after many exhausting months, as well as to see friends, relatives, and family members.

The airlines have made the necessary preparations and are well-positioned to handle the anticipated increase in passenger traffic. Visitors should plan on spending additional time at the airport before boarding, regardless of whether they are flying domestically or internationally.”

At airports, it is necessary to anticipate longer waiting periods.
In the spring and summer of 2022, according to current predictions from the German Aviation Association (BDL), aviation traffic in Germany will reach up to 85 percent of its pre-COVID levels in the spring and summer. BARIG reminds out that greater waiting times at airports must be taken into consideration, as previously stated. Furthermore, certain admission requirements continue to be in place for some nations.. Travel documentation – which may include contain evidence of vaccination or recovery, as well as a negative test result – must thus be examined for completeness before being allowed to leave Germany; a procedure that is still more time-consuming than it was before to the COVID-19 issue, however.

Here, the airline group BARIG proposes certain rules for passengers that are simple to follow and may make a significant difference in helping them have a more calm start to their holiday journey.

Make sure you arrive at the airport with plenty of time.
Customers should allow enough time for their time at the German departure airport, particularly if they anticipate significant waits at check-in, luggage drop-off, ID controls, and security checks, among other things.

Make certain that all travel paperwork are complete.
It is important to familiarize oneself with the papers that will be required for the scheduled travel in plenty of time. Apart from identification documents such as a passport or ID card, they may also contain a valid visa as well as immunization or test certifications. It is recommended that a test appointment be scheduled well in advance of travel if a current negative test result is necessary.

Make use of the technological services provided by the airlines.
Airlines have been steadily increasing the number of internet services they provide. The ability to check in online and even submit documentation such as immunization certificates in advance is available on many flights. Such services help to streamline and expedite the airport processing of passengers and baggage.

Observe the sanitation regulations.
In many parts of the world, the need to wear a mask in daily life has been eliminated in recent years. The wearing of mouth-nose protection has thus become optional at the majority of German airports; but, in other airports, it may still be required. Furthermore, for many airlines, the need to wear a mask continues to be in effect while on board.

“Passengers have the ability to make a significant contribution to the success of their flight by ensuring that it departs stress-free, calm, and on schedule,” says Michael Hoppe.

In addition, they should familiarize themselves with the appropriate travel restrictions in advance, prepare all necessary papers, take advantage of the airlines’ offerings for efficient preparation and online check-in, and allow enough time at the airport.”
