Partnership stands to conserve millions of litres of water in less than 20 months
Dubai-based Dulsco Group recently announced a partnership with Assured Aviation Services, a pioneer in providing dry washing services tailored for aircraft and airport ground service equipment.
This collaboration signifies a monumental stride in sustainable aviation services, introducing an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional wet washing techniques in the UAE aviation sector.
The aviation industry has long grappled with the labour-intensive and costly nature of traditional wet washing methods. Dulsco has integrated Assured’s advanced dry washing technology. This employs specialised chemicals and state-of-the-art equipment to efficiently eliminate dirt, grease, and debris from aircraft, buses, tugs, and other equipment.
Water conservation
A study conducted by a UAE-based carrier revealed that dry washing a fleet of 260 aircraft saved over 11mn litres of fresh water in a single year over wet washing. Assured Aviation has saved more than 1.5mn litres of water in less than 20 months through the adoption of the dry wash process.
“As we join hands with Assured Aviation, we are not only promoting sustainable aircraft and airside vehicle maintenance but also championing environmental responsibility in the aviation industry,” commented Antony Marke, COO, Dulsco People.
“This partnership is a commitment to elevating the passenger and customer experience while pioneering a sustainable and dynamic future for airport services in the heart of the UAE,” remarked Matthew Chitty, Director, Assured Aviation Services.
