According to Geoffrey Thomas, Editor-in-Chief of Airlineratings.com, these airlines have gone above and beyond in the protection of passengers or in adding flexibility to travel. “All these airlines have been trendsetters in making travel as safe as possible. Most major airlines have aggressively implemented a COVID-19 action plan and we have been surprised at how quickly some have achieved full compliance,” Mr. Thomas said.

For full compliance airlines must have seven criteria in place: website information on COVID-19 procedures, face masks for passengers, personal protection equipment for the crew, modified meal service, deep clean of aircraft, personal sanitizer kit, and social distancing onboarding.
Along with airBaltic the rating agency has recognized several industry leaders like Delta Air Lines, Emirates, Etihad Airways, KLM, Lufthansa and others. The full list is available here: https://www.airlineratings.com/news/worlds-top-twenty-covid-19-compliant-airlines/.
