In our previous two articles, we introduced you to the newest company in ground handling at Bulgarian airports – World Aviation Solutions (WAS). The start-up began its operations quite successfully and can already boast its first client. Today, however, we will focus on another interesting topic.
D? you know that…
Specialized equipment is used for cleaning aircraft. Household vacuum cleaners simply do not do the job. There are several reasons for this:
• Aviation is a sector governed by strict rules and regulations. This also applies to the equipment used for cleaning aircraft. Such equipment must be approved by the relevant aviation operator before being put into service.
• The equipment must be made of specific materials that help prevent the inevitable formation of corrosion in aircraft. Household vacuum cleaners are often made of materials containing sodium chloride or caustic soda, which could damage certain parts of the aircraft cabin.
• In addition, cleaning equipment must protect delicate aircraft surfaces from damage.
• Sensitivity in interior cleaning: many aircraft require far more powerful machines than standard household vacuum cleaners in order to ensure their interiors are perfectly cleaned and disinfected. Believe it or not, even for this, WAS employees follow a strict checklist and undergo prior training.
• Specialized needs: very often, when cleaning aircraft, WAS uses the so-called “dry wash” method. In some cases, it is necessary not to use water at all—again, in order to avoid damaging certain surfaces.
Although still a young company just entering the aviation sector, WAS knows how to follow the rules and maintain high standards for aircraft cleaning. The company’s employees make no compromises when it comes to quality. This applies not only to aircraft cleaning services, but to all products and services the company offers.
