Every commercial aircraft that flies into Delhi from an overseas or domestic airport, or even if it is just in transit, is being rigorously cleaned for 3-4 hours by a team supervised by the airline’s engineering services staff before it is reused. That’s one of the precautions put in place by airlines to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
From the lavatories to windows and from baggage cabins to the cockpit, every fixture in the aircraft, including the seats, foldable tables and hand rests, are being cleaned with disinfecting chemicals so that passengers can rest assured on the flight that their chances of being infected by the virus are minimal .
Covered in personal protective equipment from head to toe, these cleaners enter an aircraft when all the passengers have disembarked and all the luggage has been taken out.
