AEGEAN has already incorporated best practices and recommendations of EASA, WHO, ICAO and IATA with regards to specific aircraft interior cleaning procedures for both regular and periodic cleaning and disinfection of its aircraft in order to achieving high standards of hygiene and sanitation, to protect travellers and crews engaged in air transport.

Following the current developments regarding the spread of the coronavirus, the company has already amplified standard aircraft cleaning procedures between all its flights, in all stations in Greece and abroad, both during the day and after the completion of flights at night. 

In addition, AEGEAN has already set up a process for disinfection with a specialized disinfection company in cases where a possible affected passenger is reported by the National Public Health Organization. 

Similar are the procedures followed by our partners for the cleaning of AEGEAN Lounges.

AEGEAN is already compliant with sectoral legislation applied for hygiene and sanitation and incorporates best practices for the health, hygiene and safety of our crew and passengers.

AEGEAN is following the relevant guidelines from the National Public Health Organization (NPHO) and has developed as a precautionary measure, the home-restriction procedure for selected crews which may be activated upon guidance by the competent authorities. The company is in communication with relevant authorities regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19), in order to receive all necessary guidelines with regards to both precautionary or reactive measures.

All the air in the cabins of Airbus and DHC 8-400 is, on average, completely changed every 3 minutes during cruise. This rate is much higher than what people experience in other indoor environments. The air in the cabin is a mixture of fresh air drawn from outside, and air that passes through extremely efficient filters, called HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestors), which capture more than 99% of even microscopic bacteria and viruses. All the Airbus and the DHC 8-400 aircrafts of our fleet are equipped with HEPA filters.
