(Campbellford, ON) August 13, 2020 – Team Eagle Ltd., a leading provider of airfield equipment, specialized safety devices and sensors and airfield inspection software, is pleased to announce the launch of an Ultraviolet – C LED light designed specifically to help airfield crews decontaminate infectious viruses from surfaces and the air in shared fleets of equipment vehicles.
Due to the evolving situation of COVID-19, airport operators are faced with the critical need to not only ensure the health, safety and confidence of the traveling public, but also ensure a safe working environment for all staff. Understanding these new obstacles, and specifically the challenges related to safe airfield operation management, Team Eagle has designed CleanRide UV-C, a medical grade LED sterilization system to help meet this critical need.
“With access to a body of scientific research into the effectiveness of UV-C LED lights, there are many proven benefits to its use for not only disinfecting surfaces, but it can also ensure the decontamination of air, critical in small shared spaces. UV-C light has been used for many years in the treatment of drinking water and decontaminating of ambulances and hospital rooms” said Sam McKeown, Operations Manager at Team Eagle Ltd. “It can be used to decontaminate many areas such as vehicles and equipment due to the shortwave-length; the most effective option for vehicles, as it is 100% blocked by normal glass” he added.
Durable and user friendly, CleanRide UV-C is a vehicle mounted unit that simply plugs into a standard power outlet in the vehicle or on the wall. Easy to set up and extremely versatile, it is safe as no heat is produced by the LED lights and Team Eagle has designed ample warning and safety features to ensure no operators need to be inside the vehicle during its operation.
CleanRide UV-C is initially available as a limited release and will be made available for purchase online through the website – cleanride.team-eagle.ca. Alternatively, airports can contact a Team Eagle representative directly.
2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
