Airline Health Safety Protocols

Airlines at TUS are using enhanced protocols to deep clean and disinfect aircraft cabins that include electrostatic and fogging procedures with additional attention to key touch points – like tray tables, arm rests, seatbelts, buttons, vents, handles and lavatories. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that because of how air circulates and is filtered using High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters, most viruses and other germs do not spread easily on aircraft. On average, cabin air is completely refreshed every 3 minutes (compared with every 5 minutes in a typical office building.)

Additional measures for passengers include:

• Per federal requirements compliant face coverings must be worn over the nose and mouth by all except children under the age of 2 from the time they step on airport property until they leave airport property at their destination. Please be aware that while Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has repealed state restrictions, the federal mandate remains in effect for airports, including TUS, and on airlines. Non-compliant face coverings include scarves, balaclavas, bandannas, turtlenecks or other collars pulled up over the nose and mouth, materials with large holes that let light shine through such as mesh or lace, and any mask with an exhalation valve or contains punctures. Face shields can be worn as an addition to a compliant face mask. Clear masks or cloth masks with a clear plastic panel may be used to facilitate communication with people who need to see a speaker’s mouth to understand speech.
• A health status attestation must be completed as part of check-in.
• Temperature checks of passengers and crew members are being conducted before boarding by Frontier Airlines using touchless thermometers. Only those with a temperature reading below 100.4° Fahrenheit are allowed to board.
• During the boarding process passengers are asked to stay clear of the gate until being called to board to maintain safe physical distancing.
