Have you ever boarded an aircraft cabin operated by an airline and, even after a short flight, found it cluttered with all kinds of trash? Very often, an aircraft has to take off just 30 minutes after it has landed at the next airport. Yet, amazingly, after those 30 minutes the cabin is clean again, as if the aircraft were preparing for its very first flight. No, this is not magic.
The “magic” is actually the work of the skilled employees of the WAS team.
In this article, we will reveal just how much work they truly do to ensure passengers feel satisfied.
We present to you 10 facts that make the profession of “aircraft cleaning” a responsible one:
• To become an aircraft cleaner, you must undergo almost all of the training related to airport operations that a ramp agent goes through;
• Aircraft or helicopter cleaning comes in several types – exterior cleaning, interior cleaning, and deep cleaning;
• Deep cleaning of an aircraft is recommended once a month;
• It is an extensive process that requires special attention to detail. Unlike other types of cleaning, deep cleaning takes considerably more time and care from the staff;
• An important part of deep cleaning is disinfection – it is carried out everywhere, on all surfaces of the aircraft;
• All toilets must be cleaned with strong cleaning agents;
• During deep cleaning, special attention is paid to the crew cockpit;
• The exterior surfaces of the aircraft are not overlooked either, including the engines;
• When necessary, in winter conditions, de-icing is performed;
• The final result is what matters – when you step on board, you should be greeted by a pleasant atmosphere and a fresh scent. Whether the employees have done their job perfectly is determined by inspectors.
That is why, as professionals, World Aviation Solutions carefully select responsible people for their staff and provide high-quality training before they begin work. You can learn more about all the services our company offers here.
