Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) has become the first Indian airport to be accredited under the Airport Council International’s (ACI) Airport Health Accreditation (AHA) programme.
Launched by ACI in July 2020, in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s (ICAO) Council Aviation Recovery Task Force (CART) recommendations, the AHA programme assesses the new health measures and procedures adopted by airports as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and includes procedures like cleaning and disinfection, physical distancing, staff protection, physical layout, passenger communications and passenger facilities.
In adherence to the norms of the government and regulatory bodies during the COVID-19 pandemic, CSMIA reportedly ensured stringent screening, social distancing, mandatory compliance with wearing PPEs and required gear, sanitisation and disinfection processes. CSMIA has used technology to promote a contactless experience throughout the airport as well as adopted other initiatives like the installation of glass partitions on all counters, strategic placement of hand sanitisers, sanitisation of cabs across the airport.
