(TAN): Qatar Executive, the private jet charter division of Qatar Airways Group, will introduce a new Air Ionisation System on its state-of-the-art G650ER aircraft. The active system is capable of eliminating potentially harmful pathogens and allergens, including bacteria, viruses, and mould spores, the airline said in a news release.
The eco-friendly technology has a minimum impact on the environment and adds an additional layer of hygiene onboard by eradicating volatile organic compounds, visible smoke and undesirable odours.
