De-Icing

In North America and Spain, we can provide de-icing services at some airports to ensure the safety of airline operations. Essential de-icing operations are performed at the gates and designated ramp areas of the terminal core. Our NA Ground Handling team in Newark complete the “two-step” deicing process required during wintery weather precipitation which includes frost, freezing rain/sleet and or snow. The first step is to clean the aircraft of any frozen precipitation for a smooth air surface so that aircraft can safely take off. The second step is called the “anti-ice” known as type four fluid which protects the aircraft under certain time limits after the aircraft has been deiced so that it can safely taxi for takeoff.

We also provide this service for our cargo freight customers.

Cabin Cleaning

The WFS professional team removes dirt, litter, and other substances from our customers’ aircraft to provide a hygienic flight experience to the air passengers and staff, and prepare them for the next flight.
