Similar to new policies and procedures implemented by major airlines, Groome has made changes for the safety and comfort of its customers and employees, including the following:

  • Fogging vehicles after every use with a leading-edge electrostatic sprayer and a high-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant which is effective against coronaviruses.
  • Making EPA-approved cleaning supplies available to drivers for regular wipe downs of high-touch surfaces.
  • Implementing social distancing in vehicles by reducing the number of passengers permitted per vehicle and blocking certain seats.
  • Requiring all drivers to wear face masks.
  • Requiring all passengers wear face masks or appropriate face covering of their noses and mouths.
  • Facilitating a regular supply of fresh, filtered air into the vehicle.
  • Training all Groome employees on measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The new policies and procedures we’ve put in place will ensure we continue to provide the safest possible travel experience to and from the Orlando airport.”
