As consumers continue to be wary of travel amid the ongoing global pandemic, Incheon International Airport is leveraging cutting-edge technology to implement new sanitation solutions. The airport is using UV light tray disinfection kits to kill harmful microorganions–including coronaviruses–found on trays at checkpoints to protect passengers and staff.
“The future of air travel depends on protecting the health and safety of all passengers and staff, and this partnership is committed to this task,” said John Tan, Managing Director, Smiths Detection Asia. “CT technology will enhance checkpoint security and speed up passenger screening processes. Passengers will now be able to leave liquids and electronic devices in their carry-on bags, transforming screening processes into quicker, more contactless ones.”
