Disinfectants to be sprayed in THAI planes arriving from China

By The Nation

 

 

Thai Airways workers in protective hazmat suits demonstrated the spraying of disinfectants and cleaning inside a plane today (January 28) to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus to increase confidence among the airline's passengers. 

 

All 16 THAI flights that return from China will be sprayed with disinfectants in accordance with Public Health Ministry and World Health Organisation standards to ensure that passengers continue using their flights. 

 

The airline will begin spraying Calla 1452 disinfectant to kill germs in the aircraft for the first time since the outbreak of the coronavirus, said Cherdphan Chotikhun, executive vice president of the Technical Department. 

 

Calla 1452 will be sprayed in plane cabins and cockpits for 45 minutes at a time, with 30 minutes for sterilisation, while the air filtration system will filter out 99.99 per cent of bacteria on the plane.

 

The anti-coronavirus spray will be used onboard all flights returning from China, consisting of nine Thai Airways and seven Thai Smile flights.

'air filtration system will filter out 99.99 per cent of bacteria on the plane'

 

That's nice. Too bad it's a 0.12micron coronavirus, not a bacteria.

 

Here's the Calla datasheet: https://zipchem.com/Pages/optional-backgrounds/tds/Calla 1452-Rev9095A.pdf . That seems to actually work against human coronaviruses, possibly against this one as well. A product from USA. No idea if the virucidal properties linger for long enough to kill what the next batch of passengers hauls in.

It appears the last guy with a lick of sense in the Thai government just got on a plane the other day and headed to India.

As of today, and depending on the developments in China, through this June we are forecasting at least a 75% drop in passenger traffic between the USA and China. That figure sounds extreme, but as the knowledge of the nature and the extent of the new virus grows, it may actually be optimistic.

That's quite a blessing and will go long ways in containing the virus to Asia. The corona virus as well as the mass tourism virus.

Why are they unloading the passengers before spraying?

They’d be better off disinfecting the passengers, and quarantine them until they’ve been checked for infection.

Just cancel all flights to and from China until it's solved.

Most likely the Chinese will do it from their side, as the others are too greedy to take this decision.

What I keep writing for several days, but as I am a farang, what I write is considered s.hit if I am read by some member of this puppet government being a member of this forum.

 

If this does not scare any Thai official ...

 

" According to reports, it is spreading quickly, and it’s worse than previously conveyed by the Chinese government. We now have social media showing videos of people collapsing in the street, and ambulances taking people to overcrowded hospitals, where staff don’t have sufficient protective gear to safely handle patients.

As of today, the virus has spread from its start in the city of Wuhan to every province in the country. That means virtually every large commercial center can be affected. It also means that air traffic demand will also be affected at every large commercial center. "

 

But Prayuth the man who knows everything continues to accept flights from China and of course does not stop the circulation of all vehicles from Laos and Cambodia where hundreds of thousands of Chinese have been working for a long time in these two countries which have become Chinese provinces.
