The passengers on board the flight include people under 18, pregnant women, elderly people, people with illness, and others in special difficult circumstances.
To ensure the safety of the passengers and crew members and prevent the spread of COVID-19, the carrier strictly implemented security, safety, and hygiene measures during the flight.
