IN its continuing effort to fight against Covid-19, Emirates SkyCargo has set up thermal body temperature scanners at key locations at its hub in Dubai, as well as four sanitisation tunnels for employees and visitors to go through prior to entering the Emirates SkyCentral cargo terminal at Dubai International Airport.
The tunnels utilise non-toxic sanitisers to neutralise germs and viruses without causing any harm to the person passing through the tunnel, according to Air Cargo News, London.
Emirates SkyCargo also revealed that it is continuously disinfecting its cargo terminal, including the cargo handling and storage areas, customer reception areas and cargo drop-off and pick-up areas. The carrier also disinfects its aircraft cargo holds and equipment including ULDs on a regular basis.
Emirates senior vice president of cargo operations worldwide, Henrik Ambak, commented: 'Over the last few weeks we have scaled up our operations to a position where we are handling around 3,000 tonnes of cargo daily. In these conditions, we want to make sure that we maintain an operating environment that is safe for our teams and for our customers.
'Consolidating all our cargo operations at one location at our hub, installing sanitiser facilities, instilling social distancing and protective behaviour in our people and continuous disinfection of our facilities are just some of the measures we have taken over the last few weeks.'
