View Summary

COVID-19 comments

Milan Malpensa Airport has installed a wide range of COVID-19 protocols to ensure customers and staff safety, and some deliver at, or close to, Best Practice. For social distancing signage and markings, the current systems are reasonably extensive in most terminal areas, and the airport has installed digital capacity monitoring for toilet occupancy to prevent queues and overcrowding. Hand hygiene facilities are positioned at many key movement areas and high-contact points, and but an audit observation was that the lack of consistency in the design and visibility of the units means these cannot always be quickly identified by customers. There is a clearly active presence of maintenance staff monitoring issues of terminal cleanliness, but ATP test results indicated some weaknesses in the sanitising of seating, and similarly, some high-touch areas in washrooms could be improved with increased monitoring and cleaning. Security processing has a basic social distancing policy enforced, but the concept is lacking the scope and visibility observed at some other airports. Skytrax also noted a lack of regular hand hygiene by staff after manual bag checks, and the best observation is sanitising of gloves, rather than a complete change which is ICAO recommended.
