Dry-washing aircraft will conserve water in UAE aviation

Dulsco People and Assured Aviation Services initiative saved 1.5 million litres in under two years

Dubai-based Dulsco Group has partnered with Assured Aviation Services to deliver a sustainable servicing initiative for aircrafts, introducing an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional wet washing techniques to the UAE aviation sector. 

Dulsco is integrating Assured's dry washing technology to efficiently eliminate dirt, grease and debris from aircraft, buses, tugs and other equipment, ensuring minimal disruption in busy airport environments.

Dry washing can be performed in various locations and can be used for a comprehensive exterior aircraft wash during maintenance downtime, all without the necessity of a dirty water drainage system.

This flexibility empowers airlines to maintain the appearance of their aircraft, even during on-line parking. 

A study conducted by a UAE-based carrier revealed that dry washing a fleet of 260 aircraft saved more than 11 million litres of fresh water in a single year compared to wet washing. 

Assured Aviation has saved more than 1.5 million litres of water in less than 20 months through the adoption of the dry wash process.
