Cair humidification reduces dry air related negative health and wellbeing impact on long-haul flights by maintaining the relative humidity on ground like levels (i.e. the human body and its membranes will not be exposed to quick de-hydration that otherwise is the case in an extremely dry cabin). The Cair humidification system generates a relative humidity of approx. 20%, compared to 3-5% without humidifiers. The higher humidity reduces dry air related problems (e.g. fatigue, jet-lag, red eyes, dry skin, spread of virus diseases). The humidifiers are based on evaporative cooling technology that effectively precludes the transfer of bacteria and improves air quality by reducing particles in the cabin air. Cair keeps humidity in balance with the Zonal Drying anti-condensation system that enables cabin humidification without any moisture related problems.
