SCAA Chief Operations Officer, Mr. Wilfred Fock Tave said: “The drill was an opportunity for the Seychelles International Airport to test its new operational procedures and guidelines which have been put together through a well - coordinated efforts by an SCAA task force with the guidance of the Health Department. “We acknowledge the importance of the opening of our borders for the country’s economy, but at the same time the safety of travellers and our staff as well as stakeholders remain our priority. Hence, SCAA has invested in the latest temperature screening equipment, we have placed sensitization stations at the airport, put the necessary social distancing markings and have a new testing station set up by Public Health inside the international arrival lounge for random testing. We are hence confident that when a passenger leaves the airport, he or she has gone through all the necessary procedures and screening at the front line”.
