As the festive season approaches, airports around the world will experience an influx in traffic as passengers travel to see family, friends or to vacation destinations. With this increase in activity, all areas of the airport will have to be well-maintained to keep up with the crowds, especially the washroom facilities. Surveys show that for customer satisfaction, clean and sanitary washrooms are the number one criterion for air travel passengers. A well-maintained washroom that operates smoothly is a reflection that an airport is running efficiently and prioritizes its passengers’ comfort.

What are the key points for an ideal airport washroom facility?

• Ensure that the washroom cubicles are easy to clean and can remove multiple types of stains e.g. makeup or food stains
• Spacious washroom cubicles so passenger carry-on or small travel cases can be accommodated.
• It must have an accessible integrated plumbing system for easy access and hassle-free maintenance.
• Scratch and tamper-resistant cubicle surface in case of vandalism attempts or rough usage.
• Durable materials and fixtures must be carefully chosen to maintain the aesthetic and longevity of the washroom.
• Select the materials with hygienic properties that reduces crevices for bacteria and mold growth.
