 TAK participates in Airport Public Health Safety Measures meeting

The Tourism Authority of Kiribati (TAK) joined the Airport Kiribati Authority in its first round of stakeholder’s consultations to discuss the Airports Council International’s (ACI) guidance on public health safety measures for Bonriki International Airport.

The guidance provided by ACI covers recommended measures for the appropriate handling of domestic and international flights during the Covid-19 pandemic. These measures focus on the health and welfare of travelers, staffs and the public with the aim to alleviate opportunities for the spread of Covid-19.

Procedures discussed included disembarking and arrival, health and security screening, baggage claim, customs and quarantine clearance and domestic transfer points.

The meeting was also attended by representatives from the Department of Public Health of the Ministry of Health and Medical Services, Immigration Department, Customs and Quarantine, private sector operators and Air Kiribati.

TAK recognizes important need for Kiribati to maintain its Covid-19 free destination status and will continue to actively engage in programs developed to promote health security and safety.
