LTA Closely Monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19)

It is important for all of us to travel smarter with COVID-19 (the coronavirus). At Land to Air Express, we are closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation through the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and local health authorities as the situation evolves.

 

Vehicle Cleaning

We have implemented expanded cleaning and disinfecting processes. Land to Air Express routinely uses EPA approved disinfectant in the interior of the bus. In addition to an upgraded disinfectant, we have expanded the use of the product throughout the bus and/or shuttle and trained our employees on items requiring special attention while cleaning.

Sanitization Products When Traveling

Land to Air Express has made hand sanitizer available at our airport and Mankato depot. We recommend you consider bringing your own hand or surface sanitizing items on board, but we ask that you do not to use items that contain bleach, or have “plus bleach” on the label, as they risk damaging hard and soft surfaces of the vehicle.

While masks are not required, the CDC continues to recommend passengers wear masks fully covering their nose and mouth while inside depots and riding the bus. 

Personal Safety Recommendations

We recommend the CDC’s website as a resource for ways that customers can best protect themselves from becoming ill. The CDC recommends simple everyday preventative steps to help prevent the spread of a respiratory virus, including:

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
  • Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose and mouth.
  • Be considerate of others and cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue and then throw the tissue away.
  • If you have a fever or signs of illness, STAY home to reduce the spread of the virus.

Ongoing Updates

We will continue to monitor the latest updates and adjust our processes and routes as recommended by the authorities. As we make any changes, we will keep this page updated.

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present, and Land to Air Express unfortunately has no way of completely eliminating that risk.  COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death.  We have included links to the CDC and other sources of information about COVID-19 and what you can do to protect yourself.

By riding with Land to Air Express or using one of our facilities, you voluntarily assume all the risk of being exposed to and contracting COVID-19.
