Avelo Airlines partners with Aero HygenX to deploy autonomous ultraviolet disinfection robots

Avelo Airlines has announced a partnership with Aero HygenX to deploy autonomous ultraviolet light (UVC) robots to disinfect its aircraft fleet to combat COVID-19 The Aero HygenX RAY robot is a compact, light-weight and self-navigating device which uses motion-sensing technology to navigate interior spaces — disinfecting surfaces quickly and safely using UVC light. RAY is a sustainable alternative to harmful chemicals and is emissions-free. Avelo uses the RAY robots as part of its daily disinfection of its six Boeing Next-Generation (NG) 737 aircraft. Additionally, RAY is used to disinfect Avelo’s Crewmember (employee) workspaces at the airline’s West Coast base at
