Bradley International Airport earns COVID-19 Health Accreditation from ACI

More reason to feel safe traveling at BDL this holiday season and in the New Year.

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT – The Connecticut Airport Authority (CAA) announce that Bradley International Airport has received the Airport Health Accreditation from Airports Council International (ACI) World. The organization’s Airport Health Accreditation program evaluates new health and safety measures and procedures introduced at airports worldwide in response to COVID-19.

“Since the onset of the pandemic, we have taken significant measures to keep our passengers and the entire Bradley International Airport community safe,” said Kevin A. Dillon, A.A.E., Executive Director of the CAA. “This global accreditation underscores our ongoing commitment to everyone’s well-being and is a key endorsement of the safety protocols we have implemented airport-wide in conjunction with our business partners. Whether our passengers are traveling this holiday season or in the new year, we want them to know that we are doing everything we can to create a safe travel experience for them.”

During the comprehensive accreditation process, ACI assesses the airport’s response and safety measures in the context of the entire passenger journey, including terminal access, check-in areas, security screening, boarding gates, lounges, retail, food and beverages, gate equipment such as boarding bridges, escalators and elevators, border control areas and facilities, baggage claim area and arrivals exit.

Among other things, ACI recognizes Bradley International Airport for cleaning and disinfection, physical distancing (where feasible and practical), staff protection, physical layout modifications, passenger communications and passenger facility enhancements.

In addition to these safety measures, Bradley International Airport has also prioritized other initiatives to enhance the passenger journey:

  • Contactless parking check-in/check-out availability (pre-registration required)
  • Renovated restrooms with touchless faucets, hand dryers and light signals to indicate stall availability as well as added privacy and surfaces that promote more effective cleaning
  • Terminal-wide air purification technology, which will be in place in early 2021
  • Expanded mobile ordering in partnership with our restaurants, to be introduced in 2021
