Disclosed are methods and apparatus for disinfecting an interior space in a vehicle such as an aircraft. A method includes determining critical levels of heated air in the interior space of the vehicle required to neutralize effects of at least one predetermined pathogen, providing an apparatus for supplying heated air and positioning the apparatus in the interior space, activating the apparatus to supply the heated air to achieve the determined critical levels of the heated air in the interior space of the vehicle, maintaining the achieved critical levels of the heated air in the interior space for a determined critical time period, and optionally cooling the interior space following completion of the disinfecting process. A disinfecting apparatus may include a heated air generator (304), blower (314), controller and optional humidity generator (306), and may be implemented as a cart for traversing an aisle.
