RDU enters Phase 2

Air Partners

Delta, United and American Airlines are some of the most frequently booked by Maupin Travelers.  Here is what they are doing to keep you safe:

• Requiring facemasks of all employees and travelers
• Limiting food and beverage services
• Using state-of-the-art circulation systems to remove airborne particles
• Adjusting seat selection to avoid, where possible, seating customers next to each other and reducing overall number of passengers on the flight
• Ensuring that aircraft cleaning standards meet or exceed CDC guidelines. Aircrafts are cleaned throughout the day, which includes a thorough wipe down using a high grade disinfectant and multi-purpose cleaning of lavatories, galleys, tray tables, seatback screens, seat belts, window shades, and armrests
