Etihad Airways, the UAE's national carrier, has launched special protective wear for its First and Business class travellers.
As part of its health and hygiene programme, Etihad Wellness, premium passengers will receive a new face mask to use during their journey.
The reusable snood has been treated with MicrobeBARRIER fabric treatment, which is said to reduce the presence of germs.
Made out of lightweight jersey, the airline says the snood is comfortable and ideal for travel.
The face wear is also said to be washable and environment-friendly.
Travellers can choose to wear the snood around their neck like a scarf or can pull it up over their mouth and nose to protect themselves and those around them.
Etihad says the safety, health and wellbeing of their guests is their top priority.
