Etihad Airways has introduced a protective face mask for First and Business class guests as a feature of its new health and hygiene programme, Etihad Wellness.
The United Arab Emirates carrier said that the face coverings have been treated with an antimicrobial treatment called MicrobeBARRIER™ to reduce the presence of germs in fabrics.
The snoods are washable and reusable, making them more environmentally friendly than disposable masks.
Travellers can wear the snood around their neck like a scarf and when close to others, pull it up over their mouth and nose to protect themselves and people around them, said the airline.
