ANA adding steps to aircraft cleaning and hygiene ANA Holdings Inc. has planned additional measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 including stepped up cleaning at airports, facial coverings and disinfecting. ANA Group’s Standards and Approach: • Maintain a clean environment at airports, in aircraft cabins, lounges and all locations • ANA Group employees will wear a facial covering at every touch point with passengers • All aircraft operated by ANA Group will be disinfected on a regular and frequent basis. Aircraft used for international flights will be sanitized after every flight, and daily at night on aircraft flown domestically
All aircraft used by ANA pass clean air through ventilation systems, allowing cabin air to be replaced in approximately three minutes and avoid stagnant air. According to the press release, each cabin is equipped with a circulation system that purifies air by passing it through a HEPA filter, considered to be one of the most robust air filtration systems and is recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention for its effectiveness. The HEPA filter captures fine particles as small as 0.3 microns (μm) and filters out at least 99.97 percent of contaminants in the air. It can be used as a countermeasure against airborne infectious diseases such as SARS and COVID-19. According to the manufacturer, this filter can also absorb coronavirus droplets in the air.
