Delta Begins Roll Out of Antimicrobial Bins at Airports in USA

Beginning this week, Delta, in partnership with the TSA, is rolling out antimicrobial bins to automated screening lanes in Atlanta, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Los Angeles, New York-LaGuardia and New York-JFK.

The airline says it will evaluate opportunities for expansion to other markets following the launch in the aforementioned cities.

The new bins prevent the growth of a broad spectrum of bacteria through antimicrobial technology that is built into the bin and continuously minimizes the presence of microbes throughout the bin’s lifecycle.

From blocking middle seats into January 2021 to changing high-grade HEPA air filters twice as often as recommended, this update builds on Delta’s already robust onboard cleanliness efforts as part of the Delta CareStandard.

Layers of protection at the airport include touchless check-in with the Fly Delta app, plexiglass shields at all Delta check-in counters, distancing markers, hand sanitizer stations at check-in lobbies, at the gate, in Delta Sky Clubs and on all Delta-owned jet bridges, and electrostatic spraying across all of the airports Delta serves in the U.S. – including electrostatic spraying in the customs areas of all international gateways.
