Engineering and maintenance teams are utilising the lockdown period to polish floors and attend to various requirements of infrastructure upkeep. High-grade disinfectant is being sprayed every two hours across the terminal and on equipment used frequently.
“This is to safeguard the health of passengers and employees as well as to ensure the highest standards of hygiene, cleanliness and sanitation are maintained before operations resume,” a spokesperson of Bangalore International Airport Limited said.
On resumption of services at the airport, passengers will have access to sanitisers, placed at 500 locations at the terminal. “We will increase the frequency of misting, sanitising and deep cleaning once the airport resumes operations,” said Hari Marar, managing director and CEO of BIAL.
