MSY Maintaining Increased Cleaning and Sanitation Efforts

MSY janitorial staff is conducting additional cleanings in frequently touched areas, like hand rails, door handles and other hard surfaces, and the airport’s restaurant vendors have taken additional cleaning and sanitation steps as well.

 

Hand sanitizing stations are available in high traffic areas throughout the terminal. Several restrooms are also located throughout the terminal both before and after security for travelers to wash their hands.

 

Airlines Remain Operational at MSY

Airlines continue to operate at MSY. Airlines have updated procedures and sanitation efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and require passengers to wear masks during their travel journey.

 

Some flight operations have been impacted in the wake of COVID-19. Because the situation is very fluid and rapidly changing, passengers should contact their airline directly about any changes and developments to their flight itinerary. Airlines handle all aspects of ticketing and scheduling. Airline contact information can be found at flymsy.wpengine.com/airlines.
