The airline Helvetic is currently testing the use of special robots that are supposed to kill coronaviruses in the aircraft cabins. Ultraviolet light is used here. It is currently unclear whether this will reduce the service life of materials in the cabin.

The field trial is being carried out in cooperation with Dnata and the technology company Uveya. Once meaningful results are available, a decision should be made as to whether this technology is to be used permanently. By the way, disinfection is to be carried out using special robots, reports the Solothurner Zeitung.
