This story is part of AIN's continuing coverage of the impact of the coronavirus on aviation.
New York-based aircraft decontamination specialist Aqueous Solutions has expanded its offerings from the metro-NYC area to provide nationwide emergency disinfecting service for Covid-19. Approved by the CDC and the FDA for use against the virus, the company’s contamination service cleans and disinfects aircraft and airport locations such as FBO terminals and hangars using a unique electrostatic fogging and spraying system.
According to Aqueous, the atomizers create a fine mist that coats all surfaces with environmentally sound cleaning and disinfecting solutions, quickly killing 99.9 percent of germs and viruses. Since the start of the pandemic, the company has decontaminated more than four million square feet of terminal, office, and aircraft space, and its response team provides 24/7 emergency contact.
It is now preparing for the next phase of services, which will involve the deep cleaning of workspaces before employees returning to work and providing a regularly scheduled disinfecting treatment each week for the next few months, or until confirmation that the threat is over.
“Unlike the many new vendors entering this space, we have more than a decade of experience in environmental cleanups, and we use a high-quality CDC-approved product that is highly effective and safe,” said company co-founder Eric Bliss. “Our disinfectant and technique sanitize the surfaces and equipment, enabling travelers and aviation staffers to safely travel and work with less worry about Covid-19 infection.”
