Detroit Metropolitan Airport Marks Another Accomplishment; Health and Safety Accreditation Completed

Nov. 16—Detroit Metropolitan Airport is occupying the spotlight after achieving yet another accomplishment.

Airport officials recently announced that it has completed an accreditation process demonstrating the airport's commitment to health and safety.

The accreditation process was conducted through the Global Biorisk Advisory Council STAR Facility.

Officials contend that over the years, the airport has developed into one of the world's leading air transportation hubs.

Airport traffic has soared with more than 800 flights per day traveling to and from three continents that serve more than 36 million passengers annually.

Officials said facility accreditation helped the airport improve its cleaning and disinfecting processes while empowering its staff to work more efficiently.

Work teams implemented plans to ensure high touchpoint cleaning aligned with the heavy traffic during peak departure and arrival times.

"Our top priority has always been health and safety," said Angela Dominczyk, process and compliance coordinator of terminal operations. "With GBAC STAR Accreditation, we are able to reassure employees and passengers that DTW is doing everything possible to protect their health and well-being."

Patricia Olinger, GBAC executive director, said investing in the health and safety of passengers and employees is a top priority.

"To clean and maintain a busy airport is challenging, but with their commitment to GBAC STAR, noticeable changes resulted through updated and improved cleaning plans," Olinger said.
