Lufthansa Technik and ACC Columbia Jet Service team up for Cyclean Engine Wash services across Europe

Lufthansa Technik is expanding the availability of its Cyclean Engine Wash solution across Europe through a new partnership with ACC Columbia Jet Service. As of August, ACC Columbia Jet Service started providing on-site engine core wash services for commercial aircraft as an authorized service partner at various European locations. This collaboration aims to enhance the accessibility of Lufthansa Technik’s advanced engine washing technology. 

Lufthansa Technik will continue handling commercial marketing and order processing. Once a request is received, ACC Columbia Jet Service will be commissioned to carry out the washing event through certified mobile teams in Germany and across Europe. This will enable customers to access efficient engine washes for both narrowbody and widebody aircraft. Currently, Cyclean Engine Wash is offered at more than 60 locations worldwide.  

Florian Prinz, Head of Engine Life Cycle Services at Lufthansa Technik, commented: “We are collaborating with ACC Columbia Jet Service to strengthen our network and expand our service offer for Cyclean engine washes in Europe. This development will benefit airlines operating in the region by providing easy access to efficient engine washes using our advanced system.” 

Marlon Asthalter, Base Maintenance Manager at ACC Columbia Jet Service, stated: “We are excited to join forces with Lufthansa Technik as a Cyclean Engine Wash partner. This collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable solutions in aircraft maintenance, whether in business or commercial aviation. We see this as an important step in expanding sustainable maintenance services throughout Europe, and we look forward to growing this partnership in the years to come.”  

The Cyclean system is engineered to clean engines efficiently, enhancing performance and lowering fuel consumption. Utilizing patented technology, Cyclean Engine Wash services offer resource-saving and effective washes. The technology cuts water usage by 50 percent compared to traditional methods, completes washes in under 45 minutes and eliminates the need for post-wash engine run-ups. This makes it an environmentally conscious and cost-effective solution for aircraft maintenance.
