Silver Air passengers can soon ward off pathogens
AirKAVE Portable is designed with the purpose of giving people confidence as they go about their lives by combating airborne disease head on. The systems will soon appear as standard on Silver Air flights.
The airKAVE portable can be fitted in enclosed spaces.

Santa Barbara, California-headquartered Silver Air Private Jets has partnered with air purification company airKAVE to bring the airKAVE portable to every Silver Air private jet. Effective May 2021, each flight will have at least one airKAVE portable device providing personal protection for passengers and crew against COVID-19 and other airborne diseases.

“The airKAVE portables are a great addition to our entire fleet and are right in line with the high premium that we place on personal health safety for all guests and employees on all flights,” says Silver Air CEO Jason Middleton. “We are proud to offer these devices on each plane as a part of our cabin care standards.”

airKAVE Portable is designed with the purpose of giving people confidence as they go about their lives by combating airborne disease head on. Its compact size – 3.3 inches (W) x 1.8 in (L) x 7.2 in (H) – makes it an asset for travellers. AirKAVE exhibits a sleek and innovative design, making it ideal for enclosed spaces, such as an automobile, a desk or a jet. It is powerful enough to cover over 100 cubic feet, providing a stream of clean air to breathe, while warding off airborne pathogens.

“We are excited to partner with Silver Air Private Jets and provide its crew and passengers with an extra layer of protection against COVID-19,” notes Brett Liberman, CEO of KAVE Industries. “We designed the airKAVE Portable to give the person on the go peace of mind when they travel, keeping them healthy and safe.”

Launched in the US on April 15, airKAVE Portable is the world's first SARS-CoV-2 portable antiviral air sanitiser that can be taken with you anywhere you go. Using patented filterless Plascide plasma technology, airKAVE safely destroys microorganisms at the molecular level. Air is pulled into airKAVE's internal Plascide reactor, creating a thunderstorm of micro-lightning plasma which sanitises air within a fraction of a second, faster than other technologies such as UV, PCO, HEPA, ozone and ionisers. airKAVE Portable is available exclusively to the US market.
