Aircon Group managing director Steve Farrell said: “We’ve been a firm believer in Teesside Airport for decades now, and we were delighted when we learned that it was going to be brought back into public hands.
“We’re even more pleased to continue to be part of the airport’s story, helping its redevelopment and introducing this revolutionary new sanitising technology to help keep everyone who uses or works at the airport healthy, not just from Covid, but all other airborne viruses too.
“We’ve been hard at work developing AirSafe for the past 18 months, and we’re really pleased with how much we’ve achieved. We’re looking now at rolling it out with other organisations to protect as many people as possible.”
In the past 18 months, the company conducted 2,500 tests to ensure that its AirSafe technology is effective.

By GlobalDataAircon said that the new technology has been designed to sanitise the air that passes through the air-conditioning system, thereby keeping the passengers and staff at the airport safe.
The new technology will be installed at the terminal’s air conditioning system after it is thoroughly cleaned.
Once installed, AirSafe can work for six months.
Teesside International and Aircon Group have been working together for nearly three decades.
