From 'electrostatic' spray to wipe-downs, here's how airplanes are cleaned during the pandemic. (via CNBCMakeIt)

To disinfect the larger surfaces of American Airlines aircrafts, like the walls, side panels, flight deck and entryways, these areas are sprayed every seven days with an extra efficient "electrostatic" cleaning agent.

The spray creates "an ionized protective layer that has these little needles these little swords," Jessica Tyler, president of cargo and vice president of airport excellence for American Airlines told CNBC's Shepard Smith. "It breaks apart the outer part of the virus, rendering it ineffective, basically."

"The extreme measures that we're taking to clean the aircraft start with cleaning the aircraft before every single flight," Tyler said.
