New on board at Eurowings from August: from now on, Eurowings crews distribute disinfectant wipes from Sagrotan to their passengers during boarding. In addition, passengers on all flights with Eurowings can purchase Sagrotan disinfectant hand gel in the practical travel size (50 ml) in the on-board sales to protect themselves comprehensively after the flight and to equip their first-aid kit.

Eurowings and Sagrotan strengthen confidence in air travel

The health and safety of its passengers and employees is a top priority at Eurowings. Thanks to a comprehensive hygiene concept, which the Lufthansa Group already implemented at the beginning of the pandemic, safe flying is still possible. By choosing Sagrotan as the number 1 for disinfection and well-being, both partners are sending a clear signal to further strengthen confidence in air travel. Current data from the "Reckitt Global COVID Tracker" shows that awareness of the relevance of hygiene measures has increased: two-thirds of German respondents say they now wash their hands more frequently. 58 percent use disinfectants more frequently than before.  The cooperation with Reckitt complements the airline's comprehensive measures for the safety of its passengers and employees along the entire travel chain: numerous hand hygiene measures protect against infections and thus 

make an important contribution to ensuring that travelers and crews reach their destinations safely. Among others the flexible rebooking options, the option to book a free middle seat as well as the Corona insurance, which offers passengers comprehensive protection, complete the "WeCare" concept of Eurowings. 

“Our aim is to offer a carefree experience when travelling with Eurowings.  And this also means doing everything we can to offer hygiene protection measures along the journey in times of the corona pandemic. So as part of our WeCare promise, we have partnered with the number 1 disinfection brand in Germany and will offer Sagrotan products both at check-in and onboard.”  says Lorenza Maggio, Vice President Product, Customer Experience & Marketing at Eurowings. "Since the beginning of the pandemic, Eurowings has already developed comprehensive measures such as giving the option to customers to add a free middle seat for hygiene or comfort reasons for as little as 10 euros. In addition, all aircraft are equipped with HEPA filters, which clean the cabin air of impurities such as bacteria, viruses and dust."

"Sagrotan has been the expert in hygienic cleanliness for over 100 years. Our products have been proven everyday helpers for millions of Germans for decades and, thanks to the practical formats, are an important companion when traveling. We are pleased to make our contribution to a safe return in air travel through our partnership with Eurowings," says Xenia Barth, Regional Director DACH Nordics of Reckitt's Hygiene Business Unit.
