RealClean Aircraft Detailing, a franchise system dedicated solely to providing aircraft detailing services across the United States is announcing its strategic partnership with Callington, the global leader in aircraft disinsection products. This collaboration introduces a comprehensive, highly compliant disinsection service (the process of treating a conveyance, most commonly an aircraft, with insecticide to kill disease-carrying insects and prevent their spread) using the only U.S. EPA-approved products available for aircrafts. The partnership strengthens RealClean’s commitment to supporting commercial, cargo, and private aviation with safe, consistent, and regulatory-driven solutions.
RealClean will now offer aircraft disinsection services at over 350 airports nationwide. Operators will experience consistent service across all sites through RealClean’s extensive network of trained aviation technicians. RealClean can provide quick and convenient scheduling tailored to operational needs, while offering support for all technical questions and requests related to aircraft disinsection. This expanded coverage ensures seamless access to compliant and reliable services regardless of where aircrafts operate or travel.
Disinsection is essential because it prevents the spread of disease-carrying insects, protects global public health, and ensures compliance with international aviation regulations. By eliminating insects that can transmit illnesses such as malaria, dengue, and Zika, disinsection safeguards passengers, crew, and maintenance workers while also preventing invasive species from entering new ecosystems. Proper, compliant treatments help avoid operational delays, fines, or inspection failures and protect sensitive aircraft materials and systems. Ultimately, disinsection supports safe, efficient, and uninterrupted aviation operations worldwide.
RealClean technicians will be trained to perform disinsection treatments with World Health Organization guidelines and global Border Biosecurity Authorities. The training includes aviation safety protocols, biological control techniques, and proper application methods that protect avionics, oxygen systems, upholstery, and food preparation surfaces. Through the partnership, RealClean will also gain ongoing access to Callington’s global team of aircraft disinsection experts, reinforcing a strong foundation for service delivery.
The alliance significantly reduces risk for aircraft operators by helping prevent operational delays, fines, damaged components, and potential warranty issues that result from using non-compliant products. All products and procedures meet ICAO, W.H.O., and FAA requirements, and certified technicians ensure proper documentation and verified application processes that comply with global aviation health and safety expectations.
RealClean will ensure safe handling, cleanup, and disposal of chemicals, along with proper application methods that protect passengers, crew, and maintenance personnel. Their approach follows strict environmental and regulatory protocols designed to prevent overuse or misuse of aircraft insecticides, reducing potential health and safety impacts throughout the aviation community.
The two companies say the partnership reflects a shared commitment to operational excellence, aviation health protection and regulatory compliance. Supported by decades of credibility with global regulators, governments and border enforcement agencies, RealClean and Callington say they are “uniquely positioned to deliver the highest quality aircraft disinsection services available today.”
