Cleaning

Our aircraft

In line with the latest expert medical finding that the COVID-19 virus is primarily transmitted by droplets and touch, Luxair & LuxairTours have placed their greatest focus on surface cleaning:

Complete disinfection of the aircraft interior

Use of approved eco-friendly chemicals that are proven to kill viruses and germs

Comprehensive & in-depth wipe down of all surfaces – from windows, tray tables, seats, seatbelts, armrests, air vents and overhead lockers in the cabin, to lavatories and galleys.

The air on board all Luxair aircraft is cleaner than outside, it is continuously mixed with a large quantity of fresh outside air and it consists of up to 60% fresh air.

The air in the cabin is changed every 3 minutes, on average the filters remove every pollutant such as dust, allergens, bacterial or viral organisms, such as the COVID-19.

If any suspect or confirmed COVID-19 case was on board, a deep cleaning & advanced disinfection process, including defogging of cabin interiors, will be systematically done prior to operating the next flight.
