France’s Golfe de Saint-Tropez Airport has been awarded the Safety 1st Clean certification in recognition of its handling of the pandemic.
Located in the Var department in southern France, the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) has issued the dedicated business and general aviation hub with its Safety 1st Clean certification. The award covers all of the health recommendations established by the public authorities and represents the best practices in the sector.
One of three airports in the Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur group, Golfe de Saint-Tropez follows Nice Côte d’Azur in being recognised for its efforts in health protection, as the latter received ACI Health Accreditation earlier this year.
NATA’s certification was awarded to Golfe de Saint-Tropez for its measures to clean and disinfect the buildings, its equipment and staff, and the implementation of preventive health protection measures in the terminal, as well as raising awareness amongst employees and training them in the appropriate measures for combatting the spread of the virus.
“This certification is important for Golfe de Saint-Tropez Airport and for the Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur Group as a whole, as the fight against the pandemic impacts commercial aviation as much as business aviation,” said Franck Goldnadel, Chairman of the Board of Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur.
“As the operator of the airports, our commitment cannot be on a variable basis. It is our responsibility towards our region, and is a requirement for the return to normal air traffic,” he added.
