Carried out while no passengers are on board. Crew may be onboard as this method is completed up to 40 minutes prior to passengers boarding. The treatment lasts for the duration of a single flight.
87
Pre-flight and top of decent disinfection
Refers to a two part process consisting of preflight and top of decent spraying.
