3M and Safran Announce Partnership to Design Cleaner Aircraft Interiors
As part of the new collaboration, 3M will provide technologies to help design cleaner aircraft cabin interiors.
3M and Safran Cabin are bringing together their strengths and technologies in a new partnership. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a large impact on global air travel, and the industry seeks solutions to restore passenger confidence and promote a recovery. As part of the new collaboration, 3M will provide technologies to help design cleaner aircraft cabin interiors for Travel Safe, a joint initiative of Safran Interior companies to verifiably elevate the hygiene of aircraft interiors.
“Today, passengers choose their airline considering not only safety, interactivity and connectivity, but interior hygiene assurance,” said Stephen Shafer, vice president and general manager of 3M’s Automotive and Aerospace Solutions Division. “The most important factor is the protection of travelers and their families, and 3M continues to apply its technology to enable passenger safety in the skies. Safran is a leader in the industry and we have great synergy between the two companies.”
