Delhi airport sets up dedicated area to sanitise cabs before pick up

Delhi airport has set up a dedicated area at entry point of its parking zone to ensure cabs coming re to pick up passengers are thoroughly sanitised, according to a Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) statement.

Radio taxi services like Mega and Meru and app-based cab aggregators like Uber and Ola have a designated area at airport's arrival floor's parking zone.

"A dedicated area has been set up at entry point of multi-level car parking (MLCP) zone for each operator to conduct car sanitisation thoroughly from inside and outside," statement said.

Explaining disinfection process, DIAL said its sanitisation personnel use a specially developed fumigation machine to spray disinfectant inside vehicle.

"This neutralises any virus inside vehicle. Once spray is done, vehicle is left idle for two minutes for higher impact on eliminating viruses and or germs," it said.

DIAL said after completion of internal disinfection process, entire outer body of vehicle is properly disinfected through sanitiser spray treatment.

"Special emphasis is given to sanitise touch points of a vehicle. This includes sterilisation of vehicle's door latches, interior of vehicle viz. doors, glove box, dashboard, seats, seat gloves, steering wheels, gear lever, head rests, AC vents/buttons. among ors," DIAL said.

India resumed domestic passenger flights after a gap of two months on May 25. International passenger flights continue to remain suspended in country due to COVID-19 lockdown.

DIAL said taxi drivers have been instructed to spray "high touch points" with sanitiser after every trip. Every taxi driver has to also undergo mandatory rmal screening at airport, it said.

"In case of any abrmality in body temperature, driver is refrained from driving vehicle and instead advised to meet airport health officials for next steps," DIAL said.
