FSS’ Aggressive Approach to Help Prevent the Spread of Coronavirus



Flight Services & Systems is taking preventative steps against the coronavirus. Our employees are wiping down and sanitizing all wheelchairs and baggage carts as part of the daily reconciliation and staging process.

Preventative Steps

We’re also making sure our employees are taking preventative steps to protect themselves. Our general managers are reminding them daily to:
  • Keep surfaces clean at all times
  • Be mindful of any contract with sick people
  • Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
  • Avoid touching the face
  • Covering the mouth and nose with a tissue or sleeve (not the hands) when coughing or sneezing
  • Drink plenty of fluids
  • Get plenty of rest
  • Do not wear a mask (this is actually more detrimental than good because makes are usually not worn correctly causing for constant readjustment and touching of the face)
