Aircraft cleaning services

Aircraft cleaning services designed to protect your turnaround performance.

Swissport’s Aircraft Cleaning Services ensure your aircraft is cleaned, serviced, and ready for departure — every time. Operating at 181 locations across 28 countries, our fully trained teams combine global operational standards with local execution, reducing turnaround delays, strengthening schedule reliability, and delivering a consistently high-quality cabin experience.

From meticulous cabin cleaning and waste management to potable water servicing, toilet servicing, and final presentation checks, our fully trained teams operate to IATA standards and Swissport Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), ensuring every task meets international aviation expectations while minimising aircraft ground time.

Built around your turnaround

Swissport embeds aircraft cleaning services directly into the wider turnaround process. Our teams operate in close coordination with ramp, passenger services and flight crews, working within defined turnaround windows to eliminate handover delays and avoid fragmentation between vendors.

When schedules change, real-time oversight through our Operations Control Centre enables supervisors to adjust staffing and task allocation immediately, maintaining service continuity and on-time delivery.

Comprehensive solution

Swissport’s Aircraft Cleaning Services deliver end-to-end cabin care that keeps aircraft passenger-ready and operations on schedule. 

From thorough cabin cleaning and waste removal to night stop and deep cleans, toilet and water services, degash, fleet presentation, and rapid turnaround cleans, our fully trained teams ensure efficiency, quality, and compliance with aviation standards while enhancing passenger comfort.

Consistent quality, every flight

Quality is built into every Swissport aircraft cleaning operation. Standardised, airline-aligned procedures, trained and certified teams, and structured oversight ensure consistent cabin standards on every departure. 

Performance is tracked against agreed KPIs and reviewed regularly with airline partners, supporting continuous improvement across our global network.

Sustainability-focused operations

Swissport continuously works to reduce the environmental impact of aircraft cleaning services. 

We use environmentally conscious cleaning products that meet rigorous aviation standards, while broader sustainability initiatives, including electric ground equipment and recycled materials, are embedded across our operations.
