Since the outbreak of COVID-19, HAECO Hong Kong has made hygiene standards in aircraft cabin interiors a top priority. HAECO’s Ramp Services team has recently begun deploying an automated robot to carry out deep-cleaning and decontamination and apply anti-microbial coatings in the aircraft cabins of Cathay Pacific’s Airbus A330, A350, and Boeing 777 fleets. The technology, developed by Avalon SteriTech, consists of a compact four-wheel drive vehicle that automatically sprays disinfecting solution throughout the cabin. The solution is atomised to a specific concentration, to ensure that the disinfectants penetrate into the small gaps in cabin interiors that are difficult to reach during manual cleaning, so helping to eliminate viruses and bacteria and keep passengers and crew safe from COVID-19.
