An updated version of the COVID-19 Hotel situation is available following this link. We would like to thank our members for providing feedback that will assist all.
As communicated in our previous update on hotels please submit a Voyage Report through the iQSMS application and forward the report to cvhotels@alpl.lu so that we are aware of the current situation of hotels, especially of those we have not been able to select.
Situation in SIN, BKK and KUL
The latest situation is that authorities in SIN, BKK and KUL have applied the same hotel restrictions to crew members.
We have now approached IFALPA to bring this to the attention of ICAO so that this can be addressed to these particular countries and others. We and IFALPA also believe that such restriction has a potential safety issue and wish that the authorities take this into account.
We believe that there are equivalent ways to mitigate the risk of spreading the virus without having to be locked up for several days. We are in constant dialogue with Senior Management to also find ways to reduce the undue burden of such a strict enforcement by the local authorities.
Please contact your Board at cvboard@alpl.lu in case you have questions or concerns regarding the situation in SIN, BKK and KUL.
