It said this month it would gradually resume flights to some of the 165 destinations it served before the outbreak, aiming to fly to 80 destinations by the end of June. “There are still a lot of people stranded around the world people who want to visit their loved ones.” Some have discussed leaving middle seats empty on flights to enable social distancing, while some are requiring passengers to wear masks on board.
