Ross Aviation has added aircraft cabin disinfecting services at some of its FBOs, in light of the current Covid-19 pandemic. While the Denver-based company has ramped up its infectious disease safety precautions chain-wide, it has retained aircraft cleaning specialist David Allen Certified to advise and train its staffers on the disinfection process, starting at its facilities in Scottsdale, Arizona and Sarasota, Florida.

A typical business aircraft will take between one and two hours to disinfect, depending on size, and it can return to service immediately after the process, the components of which are approved by OEMs. The treatment, which follows NBAA’s guidelines for disinfection using EPA-registered products, not only sanitizes the aircraft but will protect it from between seven and 30 days, depending on the amount of wear on the areas.

“We’re pleased to not only be able to offer these capabilities for the well-being of our customers, but also to help keep our team members, who are essential front-line workers, healthy and productive during the downturn in flight activity,” said Ross CEO Brian Corbett.

David Allen Certified also has AOG rapid response teams available to arrive within eight to 24 hours to clean and disinfect aircraft on demand at other airports around the U.S.
