Employee Support
The Company has taken the following steps to show support to its employees:
To keep employees safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19, Castle has implemented mandatory temperature screenings and a variety of sanitation practices throughout all facilities.
Instructing employees and crew members to regularly wash hands with soap, wipe down keyboards, and disinfect work surfaces with sanitizer wipes provided.
Cleaning and disinfecting each aircraft after every flight to protect the well-being of our employees and customers.

The cleaning materials we are using are in compliance with the World Health Organization and CDC guidelines to prevent the risk of the spread of the coronavirus.
Advising employees to stay at home or work from home if they have symptoms.
