Lufthansa Technik is expanding the availability of its Cyclean engine wash across Europe through a partnership with ACC Columbia Jet Service. As of August, ACC Columbia is providing on-site engine core wash services for aircraft as an authorized service partner at multiple European locations.
Under the arrangement, Lufthansa Technik continues to manage commercial marketing and order processing, while ACC Columbia dispatches certified mobile teams across Europe to provide washing services for both narrowbody and widebody aircraft. Cyclean is now available at more than 60 locations worldwide.
“This development will benefit [operators] in the region by providing easy access to efficient engine washes using our advanced system,” said Florian Prinz, head of engine life cycle services at Lufthansa Technik.&nbsp;
ACC Columbia base maintenance manager Marlon Asthalter added, “This collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable solutions in aircraft maintenance, whether in business or commercial aviation.”
The Cyclean system is designed to clean engines efficiently, improving performance while lowering fuel consumption. According to Lufthansa Technik, it reduces water usage by 50% compared to conventional methods, completes washes in under 45 minutes, and eliminates the need for post-wash engine run-ups.
