ANA Devices New Lavatory Pull Handle Style to Open by Elbow for Fear of Finger Touching Expressed by Passengers

 

ANA announced a modified door for opening the door to get out without touching the hand but with elbow actions.

A spokesperson of ANA said the passengers had expressed fear to touch on the door and the largest Japanese carrier added a handle on the pull handle so that a passenger can open the door to go out from the lavatory.

First of a kind, ANA will introduce the device to middle- and large aircraft fleet operating domestic routes in Japan.
