This Resolution urges all commercial airlines that fly to and from Hawaii to thoroughly clean and disinfect their aircraft between flights, a measure deemed crucial to prevent the spread of illnesses and diseases, including COVID-19, a novel coronavirus that had become a global pandemic. The resolution acknowledges the significant number of daily flights and passengers at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and emphasizes that while cleaning procedures already exist, adding disinfection is a vital and not overly burdensome step to protect public health, especially given the ease of transmission of diseases through surface contact on airplanes.
