VistaJet recently completed installation of the Pūr Air system on its Bombardier Global fleet. The system purifies and replaces cabin air with what VistaJet says is the fastest fresh-air delivery available on commercial and private aircraft. It uses an advanced HEPA filter to provide for cleaner air with better humidity and quicker heating/cooling, VistaJet said, noting Pūr Air uses the same technology as in hospital rooms.
“Since the start of the pandemic, aircraft cabin safety and regulating indoor air conditions has become a critical component of passengers’ and crews' health,” the company said in its decision to equip the fleet.
The HEPA filter captures up to 99.99 percent of particles passing through it, including virus particles, as well as mold, hair, and bacteria particles. It further eliminates odors and gases. In addition, the Pūr Air system can refresh the cabin air in as little as 90 seconds, which VistaJet said is 25 percent more than other air purifiers. As a result, passengers will receive 100 percent fresh air every two to four minutes.
