Steps you can take
Airplane disinfection
Airplane cabin environment
Step 1: Prevent the virus from boarding the airplane
Yes, the first step in safe air travel is just that simple. And you're a vital part. Your own strategies for self-care — physical distancing, masking, washing your hands, avoiding travel if you are feeling unwell — are key to everyone's well-being.
Step 2: Keep the airplane virus-free
With guidance from international health agencies, we and our airline partners created comprehensive approaches to cleaning and disinfecting the airplane cabin and flight deck.
Step 3: Maintain a healthy cabin environment
Our airplane's proven air circulation systems filter out more than 99.9% of viruses and bacteria, exchange the air every two to three minutes and create air flow that limits the spread of airborne contaminants.
Whether you're planning a trip, packing your luggage or already on your way, there are practical things you can do to protect yourself and others you may come into contact with while on your journey.

While on your way
Follow these steps to safeguard your health on and off the airplane.
Your health comes first
If you don't feel well, reconsider your travel plans and seek professional medical advice on whether or not you should travel.
Be online instead of in line
See how much of your travel-related "paperwork" can be handled online, in order to save time and preserve physical distancing. Online options exist for many common tasks, such as securing e-visas, travel authorizations, checking in and tagging bags.
Plan ahead for different requirements
Your journey may involve multiple airlines, airports and even countries. Be sure to look ahead in your itinerary and be ready to adhere to the different guidelines or requirements involved at each step. Global airline alliances and their members have assembled travel tools that can help. Check out these offerings from oneworld, SkyTeam and Star Alliance.
Masking for the long term
Masks are a common requirement. Reusable cloth masks require regular laundering, so factor that need into your itinerary. If you're wearing a disposable mask, make sure to pack enough masks to cover your entire trip, including time spent at your destination.
Hand washing without water
A sink and soap may not be easily accessible while traveling. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allows one liquid hand sanitizer container (up to 12 ounces) in carry-on bags until further notice. (For traveling outside the U.S., check local requirements.)
Airlines are cleaning the cabin between flights, but you're free to do your own wipe-down if you like. Consider bringing disinfectant wipes to wipe down any noncloth airplane cabin surfaces, such as tray tables and armrests.
While you travel
Keeping clean
You'll come into contact with many surfaces while traveling, so remember to wash your hands at regular intervals. If soap and water are available, then there's no better way to spend 20 seconds. If not, then use the hand sanitizer you packed in your carry-on.
Staying masked
Wear your cloth or disposable mask while you're on the plane, unless specifically instructed otherwise by your flight crew.
If you become sick while traveling, immediately inform a member of the flight crew, follow their instructions, and make sure to seek professional medical care once you're on the ground.
Disinfecting airplanes
Your well-being and that of the flight crew is our top priority. Learn about how we and your favorite airlines, along with universities and international health, industry and regulatory organizations, are working together to help create the healthiest flying experience possible.

Thinking of the surfaces you touch
On the way to your seat, you'll come into contact with multiple surfaces in the cabin. And your flight crew will touch these and more. We took all of this into account when testing and selecting the disinfectants that we recommend to our airline partners.
Creating a comprehensive approach
After carefully evaluating data for 20 disinfectants and referring to guidance from public health authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we approved seven disinfectants and detailed the best ways to safely use them.
Helping airlines keep you safe
We share our comprehensive recommendations with all of our airline partners as they focus on creating the safest travel experience for you. This is an ongoing effort as we continue to work together closely, sharing best practices, the latest information and newest advances.
Supporting your airline
We're working with hundreds of airlines of every size around the world. Our recent collaborations on disinfection are part of a much larger relationship that includes thousands of our customer support teammates working with airlines on everything from airplane performance to service in the field.
Our people are where our airline customers are: all over the globe. And our disinfection team is no different. In a way, it represents all of us because it includes the wide range of expertise that goes into making our planes: engineers, scientists, programmers and technicians all working together.
Coordinating with other organizations
A global crisis requires a global response. That's why we're working with organizations of all kinds around the world. International regulators. Manufacturers and industry groups. Universities and health authorities like the CDC and WHO. Everyone working together to enhance health safeguards for air travel.
Continuing to support your airline
We're dedicated to supporting airlines in creating the safest travel experience possible. We listen and learn from each other. And we make sure that what one airline learns, they all learn, by sharing these insights and recommendations to all of our customers and across the industry.
Always seeking better and better solutions
We never rest. Our labs continue to test and evaluate new disinfectants such as ultraviolet light. We're looking at new ways of applying them in the cabin and the flight deck. We're also researching materials and coatings that make it harder for a virus or bacteria to survive..
Deepening collaborations around the world
We're laying the groundwork for even greater progress. We're partnering with researchers to advance understanding of how respiratory viruses can be transmitted in an airplane cabin. We're also collecting data to build a model that will help experts fight the virus more effectively.
Cabin air filtration
All Boeing airplanes have systems already in place to help maintain a healthy cabin environment. These systems filter the air you breathe and minimize the spread of airborne contaminants.
The volume of cabin air is exchanged every two to three minutes
HEPA filters similar to those used in hospitals capture more than 99.9% of viruses and bacteria
Cabin air flows primarily from ceiling to floor in a circular pattern and leaves through the floor grilles near the same seat row where it enters
Answering your questions
Everyone has questions about how to protect their health while traveling. We've got answers to the questions people are asking most.
All Disinfecting airplanes Cabin air filtration
How is the risk of virus transmissions being reduced on airplanes today?
We are focused on multiple layers of protection to combat virus transmission. Layered protection requires a system-wide approach extending beyond the inside of the airplane and this is why we are working closely with other agencies and organizations, such as airports, regulatory authorities and industry associations.
The first layer of protection is working with airlines and airports to help prevent anyone with the virus from boarding the airplane. This includes the airlines' flexible re-booking procedures and passenger screening at airports. The second layer is supporting our airline partners with cleaning and disinfecting practices. The third layer helps to minimize contaminants from spreading throughout the cabin through the careful design of the cabin air system and encouraging passengers to wear face coverings.
How can I learn about the most relevant health and hygiene safety measures adopted by airlines and airports?
In addition to directly checking the websites for each airline and airport along your journey, you can also take advantage of airline and airport tools developed by the global airline alliances and their members: oneworld, SkyTeam and Star Alliance.
What else can passengers do?
Boeing supports the guidance issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and other health and safety regulators to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne illnesses. This includes face masks, routine hand-washing, personal protective equipment, hand sanitizers and other basic personal hygiene.
What other safeguards can we expect in the future?
We are currently evaluating a number of new technologies that may further reduce the risk of disease transmission on our aircraft. Two examples are the evaluation of anti-microbial and anti-viral application on surfaces and high-touch points throughout the cabin and lavatories and UV light disinfection, including through UV wands. These technologies are still in development and will only be deployed on a passenger airplane after they have been successfully tested and approved by customers and regulators.
How are Boeing and the airlines working together?
We continue to support our airline customers as we collectively navigate this public health emergency. Airlines and authorities have taken steps including increased cabin cleaning between flights, passenger spacing, and requiring travelers to wear masks both in the airport terminal and onboard the airplane.
We support the guidance our customers deliver to passengers in conjunction with the travel and public health guidance of governments and public health agencies around the world.
How are airplane cabins disinfected?
We're in daily discussions with our airline partners, providing the latest updates and information and gathering their feedback.
While we work with the industry to develop uniform best practices, we will continue to provide specific guidance to our partners. We have distributed guidance to them on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved disinfectant products that are compatible with airplane systems and structures and procedures for use in the flight deck and passenger cabin.
We have also directed our airline partners to the information about COVID-19 that is currently available from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Boeing supports passengers and crews wearing face masks. Requiring them is ultimately up to each airline, regulators and public health agencies. That said, we are encouraged that the industry continues to discuss and find uniform solutions to protect the health and safety of passengers and crews.
Is the airplane cabin air safe?
Today's airplanes incorporate cabin air features designed to help protect the safety and health of passengers.
The cabin air flows primarily from ceiling to floor, not front to back, which minimizes contaminants spreading through the cabin.
It is also exchanged every two to three minutes with outside air and through high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. These HEPA filters, which are similar to those used in hospital operating rooms and industrial clean rooms, trap more than 99.9% of particulates such as bacteria and viruses from the air before it is recirculated to the cabin.
What happens if someone on my flight sneezes or coughs?
The air on an airplane moves primarily from ceiling to floor, not front to back. This minimizes contaminants spreading through the cabin and ensures airflow leaves the cabin close to where it enters.
High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters installed on Boeing airplanes remove particulates from the air that passes through them as it is recirculated to the cabin. The cabin air filtration systems, which are similar to those used in hospital operating rooms and industrial clean rooms, trap more than 99.9% of particulates such as bacteria and viruses and prevent them from recirculating into the cabin.
However, HEPA filters can only clean the air that circulates through them, so if a passenger sneezes and there is no filter between, the filter cannot clean that air. That is why it's important for passengers to follow the guidance of health and aviation authorities such as wearing a face mask, keeping your hands clean and wiping down surfaces where germs can linger with a disinfectant wipe.
What happens if a passenger gets sick on a flight?
We support airlines following the detailed guidance provided by the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) for what the cabin crew should do on the flight when someone onboard is sick with a possible contagious disease.
This guidance equips the cabin crew with practical methods for identifying a sick and potentially infectious traveler and multiple measures for controlling the risk of infection to other passengers and themselves.
Any actions taken to control the risk of airborne infection are enhanced by the air filtration systems already in place, which incorporate High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters similar to those used in hospitals and industrial clean rooms. HEPA filters are more than 99.9% effective at removing particulates such as viruses and bacteria before air is recirculated back to the cabin.
