January 20, 2021 – ABM, one of the UK’s leading providers of aviation services, has been awarded a contract to work with Etihad Airways to provide cabin secure cleaning services across the airline’s fleet of aircrafts at London’s Heathrow Airport.
With cleaning and disinfection now at the forefront of air travel, the latest win comes as ABM continues to help the aviation industry build passenger confidence around safety and hygiene with its skills and expertise in cabin cleaning management.
Antony Marke, group managing director for ABM’s UK aviation business, says: “As airlines look to recover and rebuild, our focus is on helping them do that.
“To encourage people to fly once again, passengers need reassurance that the aircraft is safe, clean and hygienic. With our unparalleled cabin cleaning services, we help create a positive passenger experience and provide best-in-class cleaning for any type of aircraft.”
Etihad Airways has strong credentials in health and hygiene demonstrated through its Etihad Wellness program, which commits to providing travelers with peace of mind when flying during these unprecedented times.
In an industry first, ABM will support Etihad’s specially trained Wellness Ambassadors, who offer reassurance to customers by sharing advice on travel wellbeing and details of the health and sanitization measures that have been implemented throughout their journey through an easy-to-use online guide. The ambassadors can also be contacted 24/7 via email for those needing more specific information and advice.
In 2020, ABM UK established an Expert Advisory Council, composed of external leading experts in infectious disease and industrial hygiene to advise on many aspects of ABM UK’s business, including its proprietary EnhancedClean program.
The three-step EnhancedClean approach delivers healthy spaces with a certified disinfection process. It is designed to help clients return to their facilities safely and navigate change in a post COVID-19 world.
