Flint Bishop Airport Issues Statement on COVID-19

Flint Bishop International Airport (FNT) is committed to maintaining our high standards of terminal cleanliness, every day, as well as throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We remain vigilant and have been working diligently with the Genesee County Health Department, as well as the Genesee County Emergency Management Office to ensure that we are following all of the proper protocols.

The cleaning protocols being instituted at Flint Bishop are as follows:

• Restrooms are closed for cleaning after every flight, and are checked between flights at a minimum of every 30 minutes.
• In addition to our standard janitorial contract cleaning, the Airport also employs Enviro-Master to do supplementary deep-cleanings.
• Hand sanitizer (70% alcohol) stations have been increased, are located throughout the entire terminal and are continually refilled as needed.
• Our airline gate areas are cleaned after the last flight, as well as routinely throughout the day.
• Escalator handrails are cleaned at a minimum of once every two hours
• The janitorial staff uses an antibacterial disinfectant product at a minimum of once a day.
