Have you been back on a plane since the pandemic struck? Of course, we’re all eager to soar the skies again, to feel the thrill of take-off and that one-of-a-kind feeling you get when you land someplace new<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As soon as things return to normal, we’ll all be able to experience air travel again<\/strong>, and oh are we looking forward to it!<\/p>\n

That’s why at dothegap<\/strong> we’re truly excited to share some news confirming the top-notch health safety on flights<\/strong>, especially those operated by KLM<\/strong>. Want to find out more? Read on!<\/p>\n

KLM flies ahead, earning Diamond Award for Health Safety<\/h2>\n

Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) has been Diamond certified by APEX Health Safety<\/strong> powered by SimpliFlying<\/strong>. This certification is the highest health and safety distinction<\/strong> in the commercial airline industry.<\/p>\n

KLM has made this a priority<\/strong> for its customers, employees and society as a whole. At such a complex time, the company has sought to ensure the highest level of safety on all its flights<\/strong>, and this award is an important recognition of its efforts.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this award is to resume commercial air travel<\/strong> while seeing to it that all travellers feel their health is guaranteed<\/strong>. At the same time, it aims to encourage airlines to take on a proactive role and to create a common standard for passenger health and hygiene<\/strong> during travel.<\/p>\n

APEX Health Safety and COVID-19 certification<\/h2>\n

APEX<\/strong>, the Airline Passengers Experience Association, was founded 42 years ago and has since become the leading organisation in its field <\/strong>for its standards in assessing passenger satisfaction in all aspects of flying.<\/p>\n

\"Queremos<\/p>\n

When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, APEX could not stand idly by and decided to act<\/strong>, creating the Health Safety Award<\/strong>, which sets the industry-wide standard for customer-focused COVID-19 certification.<\/p>\n

According to a report issued by APEX<\/strong>, the award “is a commendable achievement that will be recognised by your customers<\/strong> and that will position you as a leader in health and hygiene<\/strong>“. In addition to KLM<\/strong>, other airlines such as Singapore Airlines<\/strong> and Qatar Airways<\/strong> have previously received the award.<\/p>\n

As we look forward to flying again and to inspiring experiences such as cultural exchanges<\/strong>, this kind of news makes us feel more confident and quells our fears. We are ready to travel! Congratulations, KLM!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
