PRESS RELEASE

New report reveals how poor sanitation, poor oversight and contractor corruption are jeopardizing aviation safety at major U.S. airports.
NEW YORK, NY, November 8, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — New York Airport News has released a white paper entitled “Systemic Sanitation and Environmental Failures at U.S. Airports” that exposes critical failures in environmental and sanitation oversight at major American airports.
The report, inspired by the UPS cargo plane crash at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport on Nov. 5, examines how poor cleaning practices, weak contractor accountability and fragmented federal oversight can contribute to long-term material fatigue and safety risks in aviation infrastructure.
The paper highlights Aqueous Solutions, a Port Authority contractor at JFK Airport, as a case study showing how monopolistic service agreements and inadequate oversight can allow substandard practices to persist. It also outlines regulatory gaps between the FAA, OSHA, EPA, and local airport authorities that result in important safety and environmental issues being overlooked.
“Airports are only as secure as the systems they maintain,” a spokesperson told New York Airport News. “This report shows how neglected hygiene and chemical handling practices can clearly pose threats to aviation.”
The white paper calls for a joint task force of the FAA, OSHA and EPA to standardize environmental safety audits at airports, make contractor performance more transparent and establish stricter regulations for cleaning chemicals in aviation.
