Recent Improvements at Airports Statewide

By: Ross Higashi

Airport Division is killing germs and staying healthy during this pandemic.

Employees have been diligently working to clean and sanitize high touch point areas like handrails, elevator buttons, restrooms, and seating areas throughout the day.

More than 250 hand sanitizing dispensers and plexiglass sneeze guards have been added around the airports.

With airline passenger traffic volume at a historic low, the Airports Division has also taken the time to increase its maintenance and repair of airport facilities statewide.

Floors have been buffed and waxed, ceilings and equipment repaired, sidewalks pressure washed, landscape areas refreshed, roadways and taxiways repaved and striping repainted, airfield signs replaced.

The airports are the cleanest they have ever been to help keep the public and employees safe!
