Flying is Safe, Healthy, and Fun
All flight operations and services are carried out according to applicable provisions, meeting aspects that meet safety, security, and health protocol guidelines.
Wings Air has prepared a fleet of ATR 72-500 or ATR 72-600 propeller types for this flight. Both offer a seating capacity of 72 economy class, 2-2 configuration or layout.
The aircraft has the advantage of offering the latest experience for passengers (business people and tourists). ATR 72 is a technologically advanced aircraft with a level of comfort more felt during the flight because it is equipped with an interior designed more futuristic, can relax when in the cabin, can work or enjoy the journey by looking at the scenery because the plane can fly low.
Fresh air quality is continuously supplied with a high level of cabin air volume renewal so that the air cycle is guaranteed to be clean. The airflow from above (the cabin ceiling) moves one way down (the floor), which minimizes the movement of air forward and backward direction in the cabin (blown transversally and vertically). Air will be sucked into the floor area through the panel (floor panel level) according to the process of the pressure outflow valves operation.
Approximately 95 cubic meters of air volume in the cabin will constantly update within 5 to 7 minutes. That is making sure that the air in the cabin was always fresh.
Wings Air maximizes various steps to prevent the spread of Covid-19, including regulating the process of entering and leaving passengers from the aircraft sequentially to minimize overcrowding. On ATR aircraft, ascend and descend from the rear door. That will minimizes face-to-face interactions between passengers. The kitchen area (galley) located at the rear too minimizes face-to-face interaction between passengers and cabin crew.
Wings Air has also increased the sterilization phase of the entire fleet. The aircraft cleaning process has to carry out by a team of technicians and aircraft interior exterior cleaning (AIEC), including Aircraft Interior Cleaning (cleaning the inside of the aircraft) and Aircraft Exterior Cleaning (cleaning the outside of the fleet).
