    Diaper Flights Proposed

    China Tells Cabin Crew to Wear Diapers on Risky Covid Flights

    • China aviation regulator issues virus guidelines for airlines
    • Applies to charter flights to and from ‘pandemic’ countries


    China’s aviation regulator is recommending cabin crew on charter flights to high-risk Covid-19 destinations wear disposable diapers and avoid using the bathroom to reduce the risk of infection.

    The advice comes in a 38-page list of guidelines for airlines to prevent the spread of coronavirus. The sixth edition echoes similar instructions in previous, less lengthy versions.

    The Civil Aviation Administration of China said the recommendation applies for charter flights to and from countries and regions where infections exceed 500 in every one million people.

    The diaper advice is in a section on personal protective equipment, which also recommends the following for cabin crew:


    • Medical protective masks
    • Double-layer disposable medical rubber gloves
    • Goggles
    • Disposable caps
    • Disposable protective clothing
    • Disposable shoe covers


    Flight crew should wear masks and goggles, but they don’t need diapers.

    Other advice for the flights includes dividing the cabin into “clean area, buffer zone, passenger sitting area and quarantine area,” separated by disposable curtains. The last three rows should be designated as an emergency quarantine area, said CAAC. CAAC declined to disclose any more details on the guidelines.

    China’s aviation market was hit hard at the onset of the outbreak in Wuhan and subsequent spread around the country. But it has recovered -- on the domestic front at least -- to close to pre-pandemic levels, while other regions such as Europe and the U.S. struggle to bring Covid-19 under control.

    Airlines have insisted that it is safe to fly during the pandemic, partly thanks to the hospital-grade air filters on planes, but some researchers say it isn’t yet clear to conclude there’s minimal risk. Some cases have documented transmission on flights when passengers wore masks and sat far apart.

    What a wonderful idea! They would certainly save on food. After all, who would have an appetite for anything to eat when stewardesses with their diapers filled are constantly walking by with their rear ends inches away from your nose?

    The stewardesses will surely be looking nice in their tight fitting uniforms with Mamy-Pokos underneath.

    ^Lol.

    From what I've seen lately, flight attendants look more like nurses/ health workers nowadays. They're all wearing space suits/ PPE.

    Flights to/ from PI: passengers need to wear face mask & face shield.

    During the early days of the pandemic, I remember that hospital workers in China had to wear diapers since they didn't have time to pee, and removing/ putting on the PPE is time consuming. Must have been very uncomfortable for them.
