Massport collaborated with Harvard’s Aviation Public Health Initiative on its study of COVID‐19 impact to airports The Aviation Public Health Initiative is a joint program of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government APHI Study • APHI worked with A4A, ACI‐NA, aircraft manufacturers, airport operators, government agencies, and others to study the COVID‐19 transmission risk of the curb‐to‐curb journey in airports and potential mitigation strategies • As part of their work, the Harvard team surveyed 25 airports of various size • Logan worked with APHI on sharing information and data on the airport passenger journey • The study found: “Overall, the airports in the study are implementing comprehensive strategies to mitigate the impact of COVID‐19 on their employees, passengers, and the wider airport community. They have adopted a layered risk mitigation approach in line with the science of SARS‐ CoV‐2 and known routes of transmission” • “Good practices are present across the airport operator surveyed. Greater harmonization of practices across the industry will support focused investment and preclude investments that offer little risk mitigation benefit” 67 Visual Materials for Massachusetts Port Authority Board Meeting February 25, 2021
