*T4* Safe Travel Resource Center
What We Are Doing to Keep You Safe
During these times of COVID-19 the health and safety of our employees and passengers is our highest priority. Therefore, we have implemented several terminal-wide initiatives to make your experience at Terminal 4 as clean, sanitary, and contactless as possible.
To help ensure your health and safety, we encourage you to S.M.I.L.E. at T4, watch our video and explore the resources below.
Our extensive efforts to provide a clean, safe and healthy environment for both our employees and passengers is in line with the recommended health measures established in the Airports Council International Aviation Business Restart and Recovery guidelines and ICAO Council Aviation Recovery Task Force Recommendations, along with industry best practices. For these efforts T4 has been awarded with the Airports Council International Airport Health Accreditation.
In partnership with the Port Authority, through the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) and ISSA, the largest global cleaning industry trade association, T4 has received the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR Facility Accreditation. The accreditation program is the gold standard for demonstrating adherence to best practices for cleaning of facilities and employs a rigorous risk-based assessment to tailor cleaning and disinfecting regimens to specific spaces within the terminal.
