In a statement to Daily Hive, Flair spokesperson Raelene Coffey apologized about the incident, saying it was due to “an oversight during our typical sanitation procedures and a miscommunication between flight attendants.”

Starcheski followed up her original tweet to add that a Flair representative met her when she returned to Edmonton to hear her concerns.

I said that I just wanted to make sure that bodily fluids were cleaned properly in the future, and she told the processes they have in place. I appreciate their response time to this situation. I tweeted it because I think it would have gotten lost in the customer service emails.

Coffey added the airline is reviewing its procedures to prevent a similar incident from happening again.
