 Oxford's own airport ground support team are able to provide extensive aircraft valet and cleaning services including specialist polishing, toilet services and galley replenishment. The airport's associate engineering support provider, CSE Aviation, is cleared to provide acrylic window polishing services. Several other third party companies also support oxford operators as shown below.
We only use approved aviation washes and polishes and all products where possible are silicone free.
