Air India SATS launches Aerowash at Bengaluru Airport, a robotic cleaning system saving CO2 and water, enhancing efficiency, and promoting sustainability.

Air India SATS Airport Services Private Limited (AISATS) has introduced the innovative Aerowash service, a cutting-edge robotic technology designed to revolutionize aircraft exterior cleaning. This state-of-the-art solution delivers remarkable environmental benefits while enhancing operational efficiency. Developed in collaboration with Aerotech Support Services, Aerowash has now been successfully launched at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (KIAB/BLR Airport), following its initial deployment in Delhi.

The Swedish-designed Aerowash system employs advanced robotics to provide precise and efficient cleaning for aircraft exteriors. Its eco-friendly design has made a significant environmental impact, saving an estimated 31,000 tons of CO2 emissions and conserving 4.2 million liters of water across 2,414 aircraft cleans. The system also minimizes aerodynamic drag and reduces ground time, improving aircraft performance while offering better ergonomic conditions for cleaning operators.

The launch of Aerowash in Bengaluru represents a major milestone in AISATS’ commitment to innovation and sustainability. By becoming the first ground handling service provider in India to introduce this advanced cleaning solution, AISATS sets new standards in eco-friendly airport operations. The technology aligns with AISATS’ broader environmental initiatives, positioning the company as a leader in sustainable aviation practices.

With Aerowash now operational at two major airports, airlines at Kempegowda International Airport gain access to enhanced cleaning efficiency while contributing to a greener future. The system not only ensures superior cleaning outcomes but also reduces the environmental footprint of aircraft maintenance. These benefits strengthen AISATS’ efforts to support airlines in meeting global sustainability goals.

The expansion of Aerowash reflects AISATS’ vision for integrating technological advancements into aviation services. By pioneering such solutions, AISATS underscores its commitment to creating environmentally responsible and efficient airport operations. The continued rollout of Aerowash across India promises to multiply its impact, driving innovation and sustainability across the aviation industry.
