Sanitizing surfaces in a location related to aircraft. There are multiple rows of seats. A sanitization device includes a mobile body configured to travel along the aisle of the aircraft. An arm extends from the sanitization device laterally from the mobile body across the seats, and a source of UV radiation mounted on the sanitization device is directed across the seats exposing surfaces in the passenger area to UV radiation. There is a data collector to collect information in the aircraft. A passive RFID tag mounted on elements can be read by an RFID reader. The device can include one or more sniffer cells for scanning the aircraft for unwanted or dangerous devices or chemicals.
