An antimicrobial product is being used for passenger touchpoints such as security trays and is 99.99% effective against Covid-19.
The airport operator has set up hand sanitiser dispensers, self-cleaning stations for trollies, floor markers for social distancing and signage throughout the airports.
Passengers who exhibit Covid-19 symptoms have been asked not to travel to avoid the spread of infection.
AGS Airports CEO Derek Provan said: “Our airports have remained open throughout this pandemic to provide crucial lifeline services. During this time, we’ve worked closely with both the UK and Scottish Governments, and their officials, to ensure we follow all health guidance.
“As the lockdown begins to ease and airlines start to confirm plans to restart domestic connectivity, it’s important we do everything we possibly can to keep our airports clean and safe for our staff and for our passengers.
“These measures, which are in place at all three of our airports, will ensure we help each other to travel safely through our terminals at a time when we are working to get our country and the economy moving again.”
In March, AGS Airports announced that it will implement temporary restrictions to ensure the safety of the staff at its three airports.
