Abstract

A single aircraft in a single day may see hundreds of people – passengers, crew and ground staff – entering its cabin. Each person will probably touch several surfaces – maybe even several times; from the cabin stowage bin to their seat buckle and arm-rest, from their touchscreen and tray to the bathroom facilities. So how can we reduce the risk of exposure to a virus in aircraft cabins?

Disinfecting cabins using existing or future technologies could mitigate the risk. Airbus has already conducted a series of studies, tests, simulations and analysis of new methods to establish their impact on the aircraft environment and materials.
