Travelling during times of Corona Virus

If you are travelling from abroad, you are required to fill in the Health Control Form (FCS) and show the QR code at the Border Health Control.

By clicking on the link below it will take you directly to the individual form for Corona Virus.

Individual FCS form

THROUGHOUT THE AIRPORT

  • Bear in mind that that entry to the airport terminal is prohibited for anyone who is not going to travel. Only passengers with boarding pass and people accompanying a passenger that needs assistance (people with reduced mobility or unaccompanied minors) can access the terminal building. Companions with private vehicles must wait in the car park.
  • You must wear a facemask everywhere on the airport premises.
  • Respect the markings and footprint signs throughout the airport to ensure a distance of 1.5m.
  • Keep a safe distance, wear your facemask and follow the recommended hygiene measures
  • Hand sanitiser dispensers are available throughout the airport.
  • Only use a bottle or container at the airport’s water fountains.

INSIDE THE AIRPLANE

  • Your airline will provide you with information about preventive measures during the flight.
  • Wash your hands often with your sanitiser, cough into the crook of your elbow and always wear your face mask. Remember to change it every four hours.
  • Watch the cabin staff safety demonstration for specific instructions for your flight.
  • Use the individual air supply nozzles as little as possible. Many airlines have HEPA filters which allow exceptional cleaning of the air.
  • If occupancy permits, airlines try to keep a distance between passengers who are not family or travelling together. If this is not possible, health and safety measures will be stepped up.

AT THE DESTINATION AIRPORT

Health Check

  • If you are going to fly to Spain from another country, you will have to pass through a Border Health Control: form, temperature taking and visual control.
  • You must fill the FCS health form associated with your trip. This form must be filled in by each passenger, who will be responsible for providing accurate and truthful information. If the passenger is a minor or a person with a recognised intellectual disability their tutor may fill in the form and will be responsible for the veracity of the information on Corona Virus.
  • The Health Control Form (FCS) is not necessary for flights departing from Spain.
  • Passengers arriving from abroad will also have their temperatures checked by a thermographic camera imperceptibly for the passenger.
