COVID-19 Successfully Neutralized in Latest Laboratory Tests
ALEXANDRIA, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–VSE Aviation, Inc., a subsidiary of VSE Corporation (NASDAQ: VSEC), has been named the preferred partner for Aviation Clean Air’s (ACA) airborne and ACA/IAE’s ground-use purification and decontamination systems. VSE Aviation and its subsidiary 1st Choice Aerospace provide distribution and installation and product support, respectively.
Laboratory tests conducted by Innovative Bioanalysis in a setting designed to replicate the ionization conditions of corporate and commercial aircraft interiors showed neutralization of COVID-19 began immediately and that up to 99.4% of the virus was inactivated within 30 minutes both in the air and on surfaces.
ACA’s patented Ionization Purification System is certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for aircraft installation on multiple platform types. The proactive system, which operates through the aircraft’s existing environmental control system (ECS), immediately improves interior air quality, eliminates odors and kills pathogens in the air and on surfaces throughout the aircraft. It uses a natural purification process that produces no harmful ozone or chemicals and requires no maintenance.
John Cuomo, President and CEO of VSE Corporation said, “We are proud to support ACA and ACA/IAE technology with product distribution, installation and support. We see this is as an important step for both commercial and business jet travel in restoring the confidence of passengers and crew.”
