rebuild your economy.
Millions pass through airport terminals every year on their way across the country and around the world.
Whether you’re their starting point or their destination, they expect your airport to be safe and clean. Help restore the public’s faith in public facilities – and fulfill your role as an economic engine that propels your community’s economy.
With simple antimicrobial copper-alloy upgrades – tabletops, bathroom fixtures and other high-touch surfaces and hardware – you help banish microbes from the places that travelers touch the most.
Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport installed more than 40 water-bottle filling stations with antimicrobial copper touchpoints to protect travelers and cut down on plastic waste.
The germiest surfaces in an airport carry up to 100 times the benchmark for hospital cleanliness, including check-in kiosks, gate bench armrests, water fountain controls, escalator and sidewalk handrails, and security-checkpoint trays.
Disinfection and handwashing only provide short-term protection, and depend on people to perform them effectively.
