New Delhi: As India prepares to restart domestic airline operations across the country, Airbus has said that air inside the cabin of the aircraft is as good as fresh and is recycled every three minutes, which will prevent the spread of Corona virus inside the aircraft.
These observations are part of a Airbus’ project to allay fear of fliers, who would be apprehensive about flying in the post-COVID-19 world.
“The air flow inside the aircraft is from the top to bottom, where fresh air comes from the top and is sucked out by vents on the floor level. Due to this air cycle, the air inside the aircraft is as good as new every three minutes or so. On top of it, the very high quality HEPA filter in the aircraft is capable of cleaning even tiny particles and that includes viruses like the coronavirus,” Anand Stanley, President and Managing Director, Airbus India and South Asia told ET.
