Delta delivers new standard of airline cleanliness with “Delta Clean”
Delta delivers new standard of airline cleanliness with “Delta Clean”. The airline is revolutionizing cleanliness across airports and on aircraft in order to deliver a new standard of clean for customers. (news.flightag.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Shouldn’t it of always been Delta Clean? Sealed tubes at Alt. Filled with the masses, everyone has different levels of personal hygiene - airlines should of been eating the turn time and cost to be doing this all along.
It was about getting the aircraft in the air and doing the minimum cleaning. One of two things are going to happen now. One the turn time will be greater so the cabin cleaning team can accomplish these new standards. Two the cabin cleaning company will put extra cleaners on board to accomplish these task so the turn time does not change. My bet is option 2 will happen once normal flying returns but some airlines are not going to want to pay for the extra cleaners.
I've been beating this (apparently) dead horse for years. Every trip I take with Delta I tell them, in writing, about the aircraft's lack of cleanliness. Delta, especially, cuts their schedules so close there is NO way a "turned" aircraft is cleaned---and I'm not talking only about the trash left by departing passengers. I've even suggested to Delta that once a week each aircraft undergo a "deep cleaning." On my way to a week's vacation I caught the flu, and that is all it took for me clean my area with disinfectant wipes every trip thereafter.
Actually, I think JetBlue has the fastest turnaround time in the industry.
The insides of these planes had literally gotten to be like Petri dishes and germ incubators.
Of course, we, the paying customers, who make these airlines money, have to suffer from their greed and lack of consideration for general cleanliness and hygiene.

Well said. The cabins have been in deplorable shape ever since the 80's and need extra cleaning just to achieve a normal level of hygiene.
UNTRUE! Delta used to use 45 minute minimum turn times on the 757s. Do you want to know what they are now?
1 HOUR! Delta has been increasing their minimum turn times across all fleets for years so I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken.

Agreed we use Delta a lot and after each flight advise via their survey and still nasty bathroom lavatory.
Fairy doubtful you caught the flu on the plane. It normally takes 5 days from exposure to illness. Unless the person sitting next to you coughed on you it is pretty doubtful it came from the flight.
