JetBlue Applying UV Light To Help Kill Covid Virus in Cabins
Honeywell has delivered eight of its new UV Cabin System to New York-based LCC JetBlue.

JetBlue Airways has begun using a new system made by Honeywell that uses ultraviolet light to disinfect airplane cabins as part of a pilot program the airline said marks the first time a U.S. carrier has deployed the Phoenix-based company's technology. Clinical studies by Boston University and a consortium of Italian researchers have found that ultraviolet light applied at prescribed levels can “significantly” reduce certain viruses and bacteria. The Honeywell UV Cabin System can traverse an aircraft cabin in less than 10 minutes, and JetBlue said it will evaluate its place in its operation while continuing other cleaning methods.
