The airline plans to acquire additional units in the near future, in order to operate them onboard all aircraft turnarounds at Hamad International Airport (HIA).<\/p>\n<p>Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: \u201cWe are pleased to be the first global airline to operate the Honeywell UV Cabin System onboard our aircraft. In clinical tests, UV light has been shown to be capable of inactivating various viruses and bacteria when properly applied at specified doses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring these unprecedented times, the health and safety of our crew and passengers continues to be of the utmost importance. Since the start of the pandemic, we have been regularly introducing new and effective safety and hygiene measures onboard our aircraft, based on our unparalleled expertise of flying consistently throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Qatar Airways aircraft will continue to be regularly disinfected using cleaning products recommended by the International Airport Transport Association (IATA) and the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Researchers running the pilot scheme have said that the specially trained sniffer dogs are \u2018close to 100% accuracy\u2019 and that they can identify the virus in seconds.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/63lDeAkyOrM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.0.6&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Initially, four COVID-19 sniffer dogs have begun work at the Helsinki airport in the state-funded pilot scheme. Finnish researches hope that by introducing the operation it will provide a cheap, fast and effective alternative method of testing for people with the Coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>It takes the dog just 10 seconds to detect the virus and the complete process takes less than a minute, according to Anna Hielm-Bj\u00f6rkman of the University of Helsinki, who is overseeing the trial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very promising,\u201d said Hielm-Bj\u00f6rkman. \u201cIf it works, it could prove a good screening method in other places, such as hospitals, care homes and at sporting and cultural events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>International arriving passengers are asked to dab their skin with a wipe once they have collected their luggage. The dogs are waiting nearby in a booth where a container holding the wipe is then placed next to other controlled scents. The dog will start sniffing and if it identifies the virus it will indicate to the handler usually by yelping, pawing or lying down \u2013 the passenger is advised to take a free standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, using a nasal swab, to verify the dog\u2019s verdict.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists aren\u2019t sure exactly what it is that the dogs sniff when they detect the virus, but a French study conducted in June concluded that there was \u201cvery high evidence\u201d that the sweat odour of people with COVID-19 was different to that of those who did not have the virus, and that dogs could detect that difference.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;comments&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;50px||0px||false|&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.0.6&#8243;][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.2&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||60px|||&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Intro&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.0.6&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>We think these innovative methods the airline industry is adopting to encourage travellers back to the skies are a great way to build confidence.
