Dnata, one of the world's largest service providers in the aviation sector, continues to rely on the latest technologies in order to offer its customers the highest level of safety and benefit and to instill confidence and security in the travelers throughout the journey. In cooperation with Uveya, a technology company based in Switzerland, Dnata has now successfully carried out a "Proof of Concept" with which aircraft cleaning will be further optimized in the future through the use of UV technology for cabin disinfection.
The improved cabin cleaning service was tested on board the aircraft of the Swiss regional airline Helvetic Airways. Uveya's solution uses UV-C rays to disinfect the interior of the aircraft, ensuring the safety and well-being of passengers and crew. During the cleaning process, a disinfection robot emits concentrated UV-C light into the cabin. The device can effectively kill over 99 percent of bacteria and pathogens, including the bustling coronaviruses, in the air and on all surfaces in a few minutes without the use of chemicals.
“We are pleased to be able to offer our airline partners another innovative, safe and reliable solution together with Uveya. Our improved cabin cleaning will ensure greater safety and efficiency and help our customers restore confidence in air traffic. We continue to invest in the latest technologies in order to offer customers and their passengers excellent service worldwide ”, says Lukas Gyger, Chief Operating Officer of Dnata Switzerland:
