Virtually all airlines are adjusting service protocols and introducing precautions in light of current circumstances, though some airlines stand out for their policies.
Well, Aeroflot has just announced onboard service changes, and they're among the most extreme we've seen.
There are two things about Aeroflot's policy that stand out, in particular:
As far as I know these are both firsts - I don't know of any other airline requiring passengers to wear gloves, or of any airline that is requiring passengers to change masks over any period of time.
It's unknown how the airline will enforce the policy of changing masks. Will an announcement be made over the PA every three hours telling passengers to change masks, or...?

The above are the two points I found most interesting, though Aeroflot has introduced other policies as well. These are in line with sanitary and epidemiologic regulations issued by Russia's Chief Sanitary Physician, as well as the guidelines of the Federal Air Transport Agency.
Other policies include the following:

Like most airlines, Aeroflot is introducing new onboard restrictions. What's most interesting about Aeroflot's policy is the requirement for passengers to wear gloves, as well as the requirement to change masks every three hours, which I haven't yet heard of at any other airline.
What do you make of Aeroflot's policy on gloves & masks?
