Vertigo reaches heady heights of 1,000th clean
In response to the COVID pandemic, Vertigo committed itself from the earliest weeks of the outbreak to providing complete aircraft disinfections to sanitise the COVID threat, and this service is ongoing.
Vertigo has a penchant for working on Pilatus aircraft.

Vertigo Aviation Detailing has completed its 1,000th aircraft clean. The company has established itself as one of the UK's leading providers for interior, exterior and disinfection aircraft cleaning, specialising in an extensive range of aircraft types from general, business, commercial and military aviation. Its team is mobile and able to attend any UK airport to provide detailed aircraft cleaning works. In response to the COVID pandemic, Vertigo committed itself from the earliest weeks of the outbreak to providing complete aircraft disinfections to sanitise the COVID threat, and this service is ongoing.

MD Luke Dale says: “I'm incredibly proud of what the Vertigo team has achieved in these challenging times for all involved with aviation. We look forward to continuing to work with our existing clients and to welcoming new customers who place value on a quality aircraft detailing service.”

This 1,000th milestone was reached with a booking from London Biggin Hill based Oriens Aviation, the UK's exclusive Pilatus authorised sales and service customer support provider, for whom Vertigo has been appointed as sole provider for aircraft cleaning services. Oriens founder and CEO Edwin Brenninkmeyer says: “Pilatus has been voted number one in customer service for eighteen consecutive years by Professional Pilot Magazine and this is what we strive to uphold with every customer touch-point at Oriens. The Vertigo team delivers superior aircraft detailing quality on every job, using only the manufacturer approved products, helping us present the aircraft to our customers in the best possible condition. We are delighted to be working with Vertigo's skilled and dedicated team.”
