COVID-19 comments

COVID-19 procedures for customer information, social distancing, and hand hygiene have been introduced at Athens Airport with an appealing and coherent brand. The lack of consistency here relates to disparities in the markings in some high movement areas such as tax-free shopping, and similarly, the placement and visibility of some hand hygiene which is not always optimal. While there is a clear suggestion that terminal access is for passengers and staff only, this is not observed to be enforced during the audit. This does not however seem to have an overly negative impact on social distancing factors. Generally, the management of queues at check-in, security, and immigration is good but the systematic checks for passenger locator forms are leading to pinch points in the Schengen arrivals area. Skytrax also noted that aspects of recommended hygiene policies are not being correctly implemented at security screening for departures. There is a good active presence of cleaning staff, and the visual element of terminal cleanliness is satisfactory. Some of the audit ATP testing did however demonstrate that cleaning and disinfection procedures could be more regular and detailed for certain high touch points around customer seating areas, and in the toilets.
