How are the staff keeping you safe?
- All airport staff will be wearing face coverings in the terminal building and shields are in place to reduce the risk of face-to-face contact for both customers and colleagues. In security areas, where social distancing can take place, staff will have periods of time where face coverings are not worn.
- An enhanced cleaning regime including the use of the most advanced disinfectant spraying method has been implemented throughout the terminal. The staff are paying particular attention to disinfecting surfaces, door handles, security trays and any areas deemed to be regular ‘touchpoints’.
- Thermal imaging is currently being trialled with cameras carrying out temperature checks at our terminal entrance. It is also recommended that only customers travelling enter the terminal unless assistance is required. And of course, Do not visit the airport if you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or have a high temperature.
