Unfortunately, for passengers' safety, it will not be possible for those who show signs of COVID-19 on the day of the flight or have already been diagnosed with Covid-19 to board the plane. In addition, passengers shall not be allowed to board the plane with their hand luggage. The hand luggage will be processed and loaded on the plane during the check-in.
