Employees' Remote Work Period to Be Extended

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] Jeju Air announced on the 20th that it will provide personal hand sanitizers to all domestic passengers departing from Gimpo until May 5th to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The company explained that this is part of the government's announcement the previous day to extend 'social distancing,' aimed at raising awareness of personal hygiene and supporting safe travel for passengers who must travel domestically for business trips or other unavoidable reasons.

The hand sanitizer provided by Jeju Air is a single-use product from 'Lapsin,' a hygiene specialty brand of its affiliate Aekyung Industrial. The volume is 1.5g, containing 62% ethanol, making it permissible to carry on board according to relevant regulations. It will be distributed at Jeju Air boarding gates, with one sanitizer provided per person upon ticket verification.

Meanwhile, Jeju Air will also strengthen quarantine efforts in line with the extension of social distancing. Aircraft in operation will be regularly disinfected, crew members will undergo temperature checks and symptomatic staff will be excluded from duty, and in case of suspected patients, the crew of the relevant flight will be placed under self-quarantine. Additionally, the company will extend work-from-home arrangements for employees until May 5th.
