cleancare+ air canada safety measures — The CleanCare+ program by Air Canada includes safety measures at check-in, during boarding and while on-board the aircraft

On May 4, Air Canada introduced the CleanCare+ program, which includes safety measures for dealing with COVID-19. We spoke with Mark Galardo, Vice President of Network Planning and Alliances at Air Canada, about the steps they have taken to make travelling as safe as possible.

“We launched a new program two weeks ago called CleanCare+,” Galardo said. “Since May 15, you have a mandatory infrared temperature check before you board an Air Canada flight. Until June 30, we’re going to be blocking adjacent seats. Everyone will be given a care kit, including hand sanitizer and wipes.”

“There will also be electrostatic sprayers that will come in to disinfect the whole cabin during a turn (after a plane has landed and before it takes off again). Masks have been made mandatory for customers and crew for a while now.”

Mark Galardo is hopeful that the new CleanCare+ measures will encourage people to want to fly again. “There are quite a lot of measures that we’ve put in place to make sure that the travel experience is safe and that we restore confidence.”
