The Cyclean Engine Wash system uses patented technology for effective cleaning, requiring no post-wash engine run-ups. Washes with the Cyclean system are completed in under 45 minutes, making it a time-efficient solution for aircraft maintenance.

ACC Columbia Jet Service first established on-site engine core wash services in Germany in August 2025. These services for Lufthansa Technik are now conducted at multiple locations across Europe. Once a request is placed, ACC Columbia Jet Service will be assigned to perform the wash using certified mobile teams in Germany and across Europe.
Lufthansa Technik will remain responsible for commercial marketing and order processing. This partnership will give customers access to efficient engine washes for both narrowbody and widebody aircraft. Marlon Asthalter, along with ACC Columbia Jet Service, looks forward to growing this partnership in the years to come.
The development will undoubtedly benefit airlines in the region, providing easy access to efficient engine washes using Lufthansa Technik's advanced system.
