26 March 2020: All across the world where every airline and MRO is trying its level best to fight COVID-19, Duncan Aviation has played their part well. They have implemented an aircraft disinfection service for operators who have scheduled in their main MRO facilities.
All the aircraft that checks into the facility is disinfected upon arrival before Duncan Aviation’s technicians begin work on them and again before delivery back to the operator and departure from the Duncan Aviation location.
“We care deeply about our customers, team members and the communities in which we conduct business,” said Jared Stauffer, Manager of Interior Services at the company’s Lincoln location. “Customers began asking about possible disinfection services so we started researching disinfectant distribution systems, disinfectant product, and proper procedures. We tested the unit and the disinfectant and are pleased to be able to offer the service to the market now.”
Some facts about the disinfection service:
– The process uses a portable unit that employs an EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant on all interior surfaces in the aircraft. The process uses either an aerosolized application mode for hands-free disinfection or can be hand-applied with a portable applicator, depending on the size of the aircraft.
– The disinfectant solution produces no harmful by-products for the environment, contains no VOCs, and is 100% biodegradable. It is non-corrosive and has been proven safe for the various custom surfaces and avionics found in business aircraft today.
– Right now, disinfection units are in limited supply. We have one unit now and will have additional units available for scheduled use throughout our network soon. The process will then be available through our Avionics Satellite and engine Rapid Response networks as well.
