SYDNEY - Airline passengers want visible plastic barriers in the cabin to reinstil confidence in flying during the pandemic, saying they do not all trust industry assurances about high air quality onboard, aviation industry executives said on Thursday .
Embraer SA is studying reusable and disposable plastic barriers for its regional jets, but challenges include making sure they are lightweight, not flammable and do not affect aircraft cleaning and evacuation, said Ms Lais Port Antunes, a business development manager in the planemaker's Asia-Pacific division."The passengers should feel safe in an aircraft cabin, but they need to see actions.
