Aircraft Window Polishing
Aircraft windows can get scratched or chipped by sand in the air. Inspections per AMM guidelines determine whether they require repair or full replacement. Minor damages—such as surface abrasions, pitting, or haze—can often be corrected through professional polishing, which is significantly more cost-effective than replacement and helps preserve structural integrity and optical clarity. Polishing is typically performed on-wing, avoiding the need for window removal, reducing aircraft downtime, and eliminating the need for re-certification. Key benefits include improved operational safety, enhanced visibility for the crew, better passenger experience, and extended cleanliness with reduced susceptibility to future grime buildup.
Aircraft Deep Clean
Proper and thorough cleaning of airplane cabins is crucial post-Covid, but reports indicate they are less clean and safe than before. With air travel increasing and surpassing pre-pandemic levels, combined with staffing issues, time constraints, and equipment shortages, planes are dirty and travelers unhappy. While there is no industry-wide standard, some companies prioritize cleaning. Deep cleaning involves all parts of the plane and can take hours, varying from weekly to every 50 flight hours. Unlike other cleaning jobs, airplane cleaning is challenging due to time pressures and cramped spaces. To restore passenger confidence and ensure health safety, airlines must invest in stringent cleaning protocols and modern equipment. Ultimately, maintaining impeccable cabin hygiene is not just operational but essential for the industry's sustainable recovery.
Aircraft Body Polishing
Regular aircraft body polishing protects and prolongs paint life, removes oxidation, and reduces fuel consumption. Exterior Paint Rejuvenation: Machine buffing restores and seals dull or oxidized paint, offering a cost-effective alternative to repainting. Underbody Polishing: Essential for detecting hydraulic leaks. Brightwork Metal Polishing: Polishing to a mirror finish enhances beauty and removes scratches from components like engine inlets and propeller spinners. Consistent polishing not only preserves the aircraft’s aesthetic appeal but also supports early detection of wear and corrosion. In a competitive market, a polished aircraft reflects a commitment to excellence, safety, and brand reputation.
Aircraft Dry Wash
During each flight, aircraft accumulate dirt, which increases fuel consumption and reduces aerodynamics. Traditional cleaning uses over 6000 liters of water per wash, done 12–24 times a year. Dry Washing Process: Applied manually, then removed with microfiber cloths, it requires 5 people and 8 hours per aircraft. Advantages of Non-Water Dry Wash: Saves millions of liters of water annually and reduces fuel consumption by keeping the aircraft cleaner longer. Allows simultaneous maintenance work, unlike water washing. It also minimizes corrosion risk by avoiding moisture in sensitive areas, extending aircraft longevity. As environmental regulations tighten, dry wash emerges as both an eco-friendly and cost-effective industry standard.
