Abstract
An aircraft sanitization device is disclosed. The aircraft sanitization device includes a curved enclosure operatively coupled to a first surface of an enclosed area. At a first position the curved enclosure at least partially encloses a handle affixed to the first surface. A set of Ultraviolet (UV) Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) configured to sanitize the handle are affixed to an inner surface of the curved enclosure. At least one switch therein is activated in a closed state and deactivated in an open state of the enclosed area. At least one locking mechanism is configured to engage with the first surface in the closed state and disengage with the first surface in the open state. A controller is configured to activate the set of UV LEDs, when each of the at least one switch is activated and the locking mechanism engages the first surface in the closed state.
