Distancia física
Las medidas sanitarias adoptadas por Air Tahiti Nui y los aeropuertos a los que presta servicio contribuyen activamente a limitar la propagación del virus. Estas medidas específicas para mantener la distancia física en todas las áreas de espera deben ser respetadas e incluyen marcas en el suelo y señalización específica. Los mostradores de facturación sin contacto también están dispuestos con el fin de limitar riesgos.
Uso de mascarilla obligatorio
Las mascarillas son obligatorias para todo el mundo desde la llegada al aeropuerto. Es obligatorio llevar mascarilla en los aeropuertos y a bordo de nuestros vuelos durante todo el vuelo y para todos los pasajeros, excepto niños menores de 11 años. El incumplimiento de esta medida a bordo se considerará una infracción sujeta a sanción. Todo nuestro personal a bordo o en tierra también está equipado con mascarillas quirúrgicas.


Kit sanitario
Air Tahiti Nui proporciona a sus clientes un kit sanitario que incluye 2 mascarillas quirúrgicas, una botella de gel hidroalcohólico y toallitas desinfectantes.
Para asegurar el cumplimiento de la higiene en los aeropuertos, también hay dispensadores de gel hidroalcohólico en todo el trayecto.
Mejora de la limpieza y la desinfección
La higiene a bordo es el centro de nuestras prioridades. El procedimiento de limpieza y desinfección de nuestros aparatos se refuerza a la salida y a la llegada con técnicas adaptadas a la lucha contra el coronavirus. Una limpieza meticulosa de nuestros cabinas y las estrictas normas sanitarias impuestas a nuestros diversos proveedores nos permiten también limitar los riesgos de contaminación a través de nuestros equipos y servicios a bordo.
Durante el vuelo, nuestra tripulación también asegura una limpieza más frecuente de todas las zonas comunes con un desinfectante específico. Se pide a los pasajeros que limiten sus movimientos a bordo tanto como sea posible para mantener la distancia física y la limpieza de las cabinas.


Filtración del aire en cabina
Nuestros aparatos nuevos de última generación 787-9 Dreamliner están equipados con un sistema de filtración de aire ultraeficiente, que elimina de manera efectiva partículas, bacterias y virus. El flujo de aire en las cabinas no circula de una fila a la otra, y el aire se renueva cada 2 o 3 minutos.
Este sistema está equipado con filtros idénticos a los utilizados en los hospitales y consigue capturar y bloquear hasta el 99,995 % de las bacterias y virus que se propagan en la cabina. Este sistema de purificación del aire garantiza una reducción significativa del riesgo de contaminación a bordo por vía aérea. Sin embargo, pedimos a nuestros pasajeros que lleven mascarilla durante el vuelo para evitar cualquier riesgo.
Hygiene on board
Simplified on-board services
The on-board catering offer has been simplified in order to limit contact. The aperitif and meal services are combined. Meals are provided in a single passage in all travel classes and concentrated in a single tray service, including desserts for Business class. The choice of wines and drinks is also reduced with the same purpose: limiting interactions and serving time. Finally, the choice of special meals is also limited in order to facilitate the service on board.
For the same purpose, the magazines on board are removed, excluding the safety sheet, modified for single use only. However, a selection of press and magazines, in-flight magazines and meal service menus can be viewed on our on-board entertainment system.
The duty-free service on board is suspended. However, this service remains available at the airport shop upon your arrival in Tahiti.
