UV-C Robots Help to Upgrade Heathrow Airport’s Sky Trax Covid-19

Heathrow Airport’s COVID-19 Airport Safety Rating has been upgraded by Sky Trax to reflect the many improvements to the hygiene, safety and cleanliness protocols and standards introduced at the airport.

This achievement was reported recently by Sky Trax whose Safety Rating is regarded as a global benchmark for defining safe travel assurance for customers. The article on the website stated that:

“Heathrow has made many improvements to their COVID-19 safety protocol implementation in the past 6 months, with enhanced hygiene and cleanliness measures now meeting a strong overall standard, and further enhancements due in the coming months. The airport has widely rolled out antimicrobial coatings on frequently touched surfaces, and has also introduced UV sanitisation measures on escalators rails, and through its UV cleaning robots.” Read more here.
