As an additional measure to the standard operating procedures, aimed at improving the frequency of cleaning and disinfection, this week the airports of Varna and Burgas will apply another additional innovative technology: nano-coatings. The high-contact surfaces at the two airports will be treated with the patented nano product available on the market, which will form an invisible protective layer and provide lasting antimicrobial protection.

Liquid Guard® is the antimicrobial solution, which in 2019 won the German Innovation Award in the field of "Hygiene and Antimicrobial Protection", forms an extremely hard protective layer on all surfaces and provides long-term protection against viruses, microbes and bacteria. Studies have shown a reduction of microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and molds) to 99.9% for more than 1 year on treated surfaces. The antimicrobial coating protects and therefore keeps any item sterile and cannot be removed in any way other than abrasively.

The frequently utilized surfaces in the airport terminals will be sanitized this week with the liquid disinfectant. The ultra-thin 3D mesh coat will provide long-term disinfection and protection from all kinds of bacteria and microbes on a number of surfaces such as: doors, worktops, computers, counters, tables, seats, luggage carts, trays for placing items when passing a security check, wheelchairs, vehicles, passenger stairs, bathrooms, etc.

 "The most important thing for us is to provide our passengers with a safe environment and a sense of security and care for their health. We want that all the passengers and our employees can see: we do all we can including latest technologies to ensure that passing through airports and traveling by plane does not pose a health risk. We are constantly working to improve the situation at our airports by setting higher standards for cleanliness, using new technologies and evaluating all processes in which we can intervene and improve our services.”, shared Frank Quante, Chief Executive Officer of Fraport Twin Star Airport Management AD.
