NEW YORK — Move over, on-time performance. The new key standard for airlines and passengers is: “How clean is it?”
Next, a single worker passed through, equipped with a backpack filled with disinfectant and a spray nozzle that looked like a Super Soaker water gun, called an electrostatic sprayer. He sprayed a fine mist, slowly moving from the lavatories at the back of the cabin to the front. For his protection, the worker wore a plastic face shield and a face mask. Every passenger seat, side wall, overhead air vent and bin were fogged with a fine mist. It took about 10 minutes from tip to tail.
The regional jet had very little in the way of passenger garbage as there is no onboard food and drink service offered on short flights like this one. I saw one water bottle left behind in a seat pocket. In Delta’s case, every aircraft is disinfected and cleaned after each flight, according to the airline. The process takes about 15 minutes, carved out from the time the plane was already on the ground.
Similarly, American Airlines wrote in an email that the airline is “disinfecting high-touch surfaces at every turn with a solution similar to what some competitors use when electrostatically spraying the inside of aircraft.” In addition, American said it is performing electrostatic fogging with a disinfectant the airline claims provides seven days of protection against COVID-19.
