I used to clean airplane interior during turnarounds. The flight would arrive, after the last passengers gets off we get on and start doing a quick clean. Picking up trash from seats, vacuuming, replacing trash bins, looking inside seat pockets for trash. Make sure all lavatories where clean and stocked with toiletries. All this under 5 minutes. Many times a flight would arrive where someone vomited in the seat or a kid would make a huge mess, spilled drinks, crumbs everywhere. The worst was one when an elderly person missed the toilet and went all over the floor.
tough job. respect!
@michaelbigdongovic3295 they the worst?
How much you guys are paid?
You had to cleaned it up with your bare hands or tongue ? Stop making things sound worse than they are, no one was shooting at you or trying to drop a grenade on your head from a drone
Jeezus, I'd need psychological counseling for PTSD if I had that kind of a job.
10:28 Love that guy's sense of humor. "Sometimes we eat them, sometimes we vacuum them, so, depends how hungry we are" 🤣
That wasn't a joke O_O
I don't think he's joking 💀
@@lemao851 if that's the case, then the fact that he's talking about it and willing to admit that about himself then is still a sign that he has a great sense of humor about it
@@saladdressing3896 then that just means he has a sense of humor about it still
@@R2Bl3nd How do you not get it, I'm joking too💀
Used to be even filthier behind the panels when smoking was allowed. All that smoke built up a nasty, sticky, tar laden, gunk on the insulation, back of the panels, air vents, external outlet valves, etc. So when airlines were told to ban smoking, they saw the maintenance saving it would give them and were only too happy to follow the new rules and ban smoking in flight.
Can't believe smokers still smoke when they can physically see the tar it leaves behind.
@@elllieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Most smokers can't think.
@@elllieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit doesen’t really shock us. Most have accepted their state, until they are successful with quitting. For many or even most, quitting is very difficult. And it’s not the tar thats worst, lungs are good with self cleaning the tar away. It’s the smoke, which stains your lungs and effects your breathing.
And it adds tons to the weight of aircraft costing more in fuel costs and that's the real reason they banned smoking on all aircraft on all flights
I always thought my cars ceiling was a dark grey colour. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BEIGE!
I get worn out spending two to three hours a week cleaning the house. My hat's off to these guys.
If she cleans for 2 hours a week i feel bad for you son..
I got 99 problems but..
Well its because you dont get paid for cleaning your own house. 😃
Thank you to all the people who take part in keeping an airplane clean.
And mainly prioritising our safety❤
I started working on 747's at Boeing in the 80's with a plan to go to the airlines after getting a few years of experience. After hearing the horror stories from other employees who had previously worked in the airlines I decided to stay at Boeing and keep working on brand new clean airplanes. One of my better life choices. :)
Im going to school to get my A&P and heard a story from a mechanic who had a job with a few others where the tank for the toilets had the bottom crack and explode all in the rear cargo and the contents went everywhere. It took 3 days of all shifts to get it all cleaned and replaced. What a horrible ordeal that must have been 😬
@@yamahaguy1732 accidents happen. Everything being made to go through hot and cold cycles will make its way to any weak point. I rather just install the tanks brand new and empty
Lol yeah working at Boeing is great till they accidentally kill 300+ people because out sourcing is a company culture.
@@yamahaguy1732 good luck with your written and oral tests once you’re done! Word of advice that you may or may not know, don’t use ASA Prepware when you’re studying for your writtens. Lots of outdated info on their app and books. Dauntless aviation has a program for windows called “Groundschool” and it’s a life saver. It’s pricey but well worth it.
@@Cj-xl3jv sounds good👍🏻 appreciate the info!
I never knew how labor intensive cleaning the fuselage actually was. It's all done by hand. I always presumed they would be using high pressure washers.
Incredible dedication from these service teams. A real treat to see how thorough they are. Hats off to them.
One of my coworkers used to work for an airline. A few days ago she told me about that one time a plane was transporting human remains. As you may know, recently deceased people are regularly transported by plane back to their country for burial. This one however had been buried for some time before he/she was transported by plane. Normally the gasket is supposed to be airtight, but for some reason it started leaking during the flight. Let's just say the smell didn't go away quite as easily as the dust seen in this video 🙄
Random fact about this specific A321, it was sold to Ural Airlines in 2018 and re-registered as RA-73844 and is now operating in Russia
Now it's being used to fly poor Russian boys to their appointments with their makers in the Valley of Death of Ukraine.
Interesting. Lets hope it gets broken
@@w.k.7277 Lets hope no one dies
As someone that worked as an Aircraft Maintenance Technician for 9 years this reminds me of one of the main reasons I left last year and that was the impact of working on aircraft to your health.
I was thinking to myself no masks and small gloves plus harsh chemicals. Looks bad
@@gearheadgaming1537 and the awkward position's you can be work in for several hours each working day.
It's not a career that I would recommend to anyone for health reasons and also financial reasons. Maintenance Technicians in aviation are poorly paid in comparison to Pharmaceutical, semiconductor and medical device companies.
Depends on where you work. Line maintenance is where the money is. I made $200k last year and I don’t work hard. I’m sitting in my work truck right now watching UA-cam and making comments. But I used to work hangar maintenance like this, made 1/3rd as much and worked way harder.
@@singleproppilot line maintenance like electrical ?
@@gearheadgaming1537 Line meaning flight line. I work on the airplanes where they are loaded and unloaded. Like the guy shown in the cockpit in this video, I’m a certified technician. I’ll do anything from filling oil to changing tires to troubleshooting complex system faults. Whatever the airplane needs to keep moving and make its next flight. Deep cleaning like this is usually done during a scheduled “heavy check” and left to non-certified workers.
These people are the backbones of society
Literally what I thought
Eh, we'd be fine if commercial aviation died. We couldn't live without ships though.
@@Name-ot3xw I don't know if getting rid of #1 form of transport would be 'fine*
@@elllieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee For real though, cars have to be #1 right? The universe would keep going round if visiting Europe took a week or two.
No what I do is the backbone. Transport cement and iron ore so we can build building and roadways
Really respect these hard working people and airlines should NOT cut back on cleaning
As an aircraft engineer - I can say - Joe Public had no idea of the absolute hidden filth that lurks under seats, seat cushions, aircraft galleys , and inside airconditioning ducting. To be fair though, passenger aircraft go for heavy maintenance about every 3 years, and they get a thorough clean then , and usually new carpets and seat covers too..
Good old Henry

I worked in the hanger for a major airline in the late 80's, before smoking was banned on airplanes. All the grime and filth shown here was still there, plus it was glued together with tar from all the tobacco smoke. Literally the nastiest thing you have ever seen! There was no possible way to simply vacuum it up, it had to be liquefied with solvent and wiped up from every square inch of the internal structure. And I was a smoker at the time.
I would need a smoke for that job too. . .
As someone who works in military cargo aircraft maintenance, this was an interesting look at my counterparts on the commercial side. Great video! Spent the whole time contrasting the processes to how we handle our planes.
Now imagine the same job on airbus a380 😅
😂😂
😂😂
Im trying my hardest to forget 😂
🤢
When i flied with emirates the plane took off 5 hours after it arrives to the airport and we werent delayed.
With all this maintenance and fuel costs it's a wonder how Airliners make a profit.
They're hiring pilots as independent contractors now. Making a profit for any company is easy if you're willing to exploit.
Exactly; at 6000 man hours just for the yearly clean/inspection you're looking at a lot of money.
Because they're more like banks than they are airlines nowadays. Why do you think they are always pushing their own credit cards onto passengers?
Most new airliners fail immediately. The ones remaining survive by exploitation of their workers, or exploitation of their passengers.
@@philip4193 true, bczo a Aircraft Engineer's salary can vary betweeen 70,000 euro-120,000 euros a year, specially if the engineer has a degree and is B1 licensed.
When i worked as a private jet detailer it slowly transition into large aircraft, we had a 737 for a full deep clean and that took a team of around 20 of us around a month to complete. got laid off when covid hit and damn glad!
I also did private and commercial plane detailing. And I HATED doing commercial planes. Cleaning every nut and bolt is extremely tedious and a daunting task. Landing gear, equipment bays, APU’s etc. It would take me several days to do one landing gear. And I worked on “small” CRJ700 and 900s.
I too got laid off when COVID hit. Lol
@@DominicMartinico5521 The worst for me was doing the seats when removed from the plane, absolutely disgusting and chewing gum all under the seats
The importance of getting this job done perfectly is a big responsibility, thousands of lives will depend on it.
More like thousands of kilograms of fuel saving depend on it.
How do you fit a thiusand people on an aeroplane?
@@Lemon83166 if a plane that can carry 300 people flies 4 times in one day, 1200 people will all depend on that plane being clean and inspected for damage thoroughly
@@miguel.moretti the plane is going to crash only once
@@matiasleiro99 Yes true, but you're putting it into simple terms. The commenters point was multiple trips in an enclosed space throughout the day with bacteria and potential illness. That's how shit spreads, it's not just about a plane crashing. If my plane crashes, that shit better be spotless. I'm dying fresh.
Interesting video! That's all the stuff and fluff you normally don't see. Most videos only show things like engine replacement etc. but seeing how much work it is to clean an airplane gets forgotten.
Some of this internal dust is dander (skin) but some of it is fibers and dirt from clothing and luggage or even from outdoor air at the airport that gets in through doors and hatches while the craft is on the ground.
The most disgusting thing on an aircraft? The passengers
This aircraft is now flying in Russia for Ural airlines. Reg RA-73844
Thanks! As I type this comment it's actually in the air on a flight.
yes, they steal it from the leasing company.........

I hv been with the aircraft maintenance industry for more than 37 years and now fully retired. These cleaning personnel are considered as the unsung heroes of the industry. They work on areas that most people will go puke or turn green. The situation is made worse whenever there is an outbreak of illneses or contamination of the whole aircrafts due to some irresponsible people or organization in failing to declare the content of the package that they were transporting. There has been fatal cases of personnel being overcame by chemical contamination because some dickhead decided to carry a poisonous substance in a glass jam jar. The jar was in the cargo hold, and it shattered due to the pressure difference. Upon arrival when the crew opened the cargo hold, the fumes overcame them.
As a private air charter detailer myself. This was absolutely mind boggling. Didn’t know how in-depth these planes really get detailed. Out of curiosity, what product was used on the exterior? The grime came off like butter !
I did private and commercial aircraft detail. And I HATED doing commercial planes because of how daunting it is to clean every nut and bolt. Equipment bays, landing gear, APU’s etc. Took days to do one landing gear.
I trully appreciate all the effort to keep these beautiful machines nice to look at. 👌
Good ol Monarch, I was supposed to start with them a week after they folded.
Dust being composed of human skin is largely a myth. While some of dust is human skin, the vast vast majority of it is clothing fibers.
Airbus A321-231, G-OZBG msn 1941. Operated for Monarch Airlines from 2003-2017. On 11 December 2018 it joined Ural Airlines and was registered VQ-BGX and RA-73844.
I am a retired Flight Attendant.. NEVER EVER use the sink water on a aircraft. Don’t even brush your teeth with it. Ask the Flight Attendant for a glass or cup of bottled water if you need to brush your teeth. Or use your own bottled water
I’m not using a public toilet to brush my teeth at all.
I'd say pretty much anything and everything on a plane is not very hygienic.
Tray tables being the worst.
@@richardcranium3579 It’s ok to tas long as you use bottled water ..we done it all the time
Guessing it must have a fresh/"new-car" smell when the job's all done 😉...... must be nice being the first passengers on a newly cleaned aircraft!
I love that they give a bonus to whoever draws the short straw for toilet duty. Or is it doody? 😄 40 years ago, I bought a house that was in bad repair. For many years, the toilet drain had been detached, so the toilet simply emptied into the crawlspace beneath the house. When the plumber came to install a new drain, nobody wanted to crawl under the house. He offered a bonus to his helpers if they would do the job, and a bidding war began. I don't remember the amount, but at some price point one of the guys agreed to crawl about 30 feet through an 18" crawl space filled with years of raw sewage, some of it from that very day. He then had to lay there for some time while performing the repair. When he emerged, completely covered in excrement, he stripped naked in my back yard and they sprayed him down with the garden hose. I gave him a change of clothes, and he got the rest of the day off. I never saw the guy after that day, but I always wanted to ask him if he would do it again. As a wise many once said, "price overcomes all obstacles!"
This is one of the best UA-cam videos out there that show a commercial aircraft overhaul looks like. Retired aircraft technician Pan American World Airways / D-check Hangar 19 JFK.
My first day on the job I remember with crew chief and supervisor showing my group of new mechanics 🧰 a overhauled Pratt and Whitney JT9-D : Supervisor pointed to it and said with pride “ a clean engine is a efficient engine”. “A efficient engine is a reliable engine”. “A reliable engine is a SAFE engine” !
A big THANKS to all doing this job
I interned for a month at a major aircraft hangar. Nice to see work I did for a bit showcased.
It was definitely a pain in the ass to clean inside the landing gear compartment.
Wow, Monarch Airlines, never thought I would see one of their Airbus A321's again...
never thought it would be done by hand wiping.
Honestly, i fail to see the reason for it, at least for the fuselage. I guess they don't wanna scratch the paint or something? Even so, i'm pretty sure there can be a better and more efficient way than having multiple employees hand wiping every inch. It seems to be a consequence of lack of innovation tbh, and i guess the company gets paid handsomely for the whole operation so the management doesn't really care to rnd a better solution for it, they can just afford to have a few employees dedicated to hand wiping the entire plane...
@@N0xiety its makes no sense. they make squeegees and tool with large surface areas that would make this job much quicker. They dont paint aircraft by hand idk why they still clean them by hand
@tripJJ I think the point of hand washing is it allowed them to inspect for damages. You wouldn't want the fusalodge coming apart mid flight. It's much easier to inspect components when you hand wash them and are up close to the parts.
@@SuperJeremi10 Isn't that someone else's job thought that is also certified in doing exactly that. 🤔
@@mansnotprot1544 I’m sure that’s done as well but multiple pairs of eyes don’t hurt. It isn’t hard for anyone spot a leak of hydraulic fluid, oil, etc.
Of Course as soon as airplanes “go green” completely they won’t need to use oil, hydraulic fluids, etc. All of that just goes away using electricity for everything. (Last statement is Sarcasm).
I cleaned out a Helio today for a 100hr inspection and while vacuuming out all the peanuts and raisins, I found a York Peppermint patty. Good stuff!
Great video! I was hoping that cleaning the potable water tanks would be included though. Still great vid! Subscribed and liked!
Theres being thorough and theres being thorough,but this is incredible
This video absolutely was interesting. Thanks for the post, no joke seriously.
I wonder how much all of that human skin weighs at the end of the cleanup.
Aircraft Engineers are the highest paid cleaners I think 🤔
Used to love flying Monarch when they were around
As did I, shame...
Maybe I should order these guys to clean my house, lol! But as a pilot by myself I must say thank you so much for this service which is so important and valuable for us all together who are flying as pilots and passenger's in such aircraft's!
I worked in pest control and we often had callouts to spray seats for fleas 😊
you just gave me a new phobia 😖 airplane fleas
@@lambertsbun3953 got a worse one for you -most airlines have a bedbug problem. As do libraries, theaters, buses, hotels/motels, you name it. Having dealt with both- I'll take fleas any day.
Thank You For All Your Hardwork
3:30 I find it pretty funny and interesting that you can hear the hydraulic pumps in the background 😂
Surely some fabric fibers binding the dander together as well? But that toilet tank.........OMG!
I used to fly these planes for Monarch, now I fly them somewhere else. Nice upload!
I was a linee at LGW! A hearty handshake to you!
Ewwww. Never thought that the dust in the sidewalls and in all over the interior was skin flakes. Now I regret working in and around that nastiness. I assumed it was just free air dust and lint from clothing. When they take the seats out is neat to slip in there and scan with a torch for dropped coins and diamond ring settings and other shiny things concealed.
Inhaling that is like eating human skin 😭
Coins, pens, cutlery, stale items of food and a myriad of other items can be found under the seats and nearby cabin trim. I once found several unused acupuncture needles still in their tubes and several used ones as well. I once also found a passengers passport that he had lost under a business class seat.
Dust is a combination of everything that flakes, skin, wood, clothes, bed sheets, blankets, pillows, fabrics, cardboard, food, paper, leather, towels, shoes, curtains, tissues, cotton buds, carpets, sand, dirt, grass, trees, etc, its literally impossible to avoid, all you have to do is stand next to a window on a sunny day, and watch how easily your shirt and skin flakes as soon as you rub them under direct sunlight!
Dont want to freak you out more but there can be tens (even hundreds) of millions of particles (in the 0.3 to 25 microns range) within 1 cubic meter of just regular air and you will never see it. It takes billions and billions of particles in a very small volume to start seeing what we usually call "smoke".
Edit : the dust you see on a sunny day are huge when compared to the micron world.... and if you can see it, consider it the tip of the iceberg lol
Double edit : dare ya to pick a random door sill in your house, run your finger across it then lick it 😜
@@nopelandfill well said
G-OZBG, this aircraft, was re-registered to VQ-BGX (Bermuda) and leased out to Russia's Ural airlines. In March 2022 the aircraft was illegaly re-registered to RA-73844 and is still flying for Ural, essentially stolen.
The problem is the passengers. They have no consideration for those who come after them. I suspect the UK is one of the worst offenders.
Most humans are oblivious
That’s so old that Monarch was still flying
I imagine the fuel economy of the aircraft improves by 10% from all those weight LMAO
Never thought that the inside of a jet would be cleaned with a Henry ahahah
The fact he could clean that tank without a mask. Good lord I would need something 😂
Damn they really scrimp on the cleaning budget 🤣 I laughed my ass of when the guy was cleaning the interior with a Henry hover.
Now, we need an episode on housekeeping for the Galt House in Louisville, KY. A friend used to tell me gross or creepy stories when they were there.
I used to work for this airline’s mro, at 2 other stations they had. Was a really good company to work for. Shame it went down.
Wonder if they re-tune the radio to head banging teeny-bop dance garbage, like my car service. 😂
Head banging only fits metal music.
Ive always seen planes be clean, never realized this would even exist till now.
I love the inside look of an airplane to every inch. It is ashamed the airline featured in the video has already gone busted.
Wow! Absolutely incredible!
I can't imagine how hard is cleaning the bigger one, the Airbus A380. The amount of people you need for that one probably go over 50.
I've done this to my station wagon inside and out with a roll of paper towels and vinegar-based Windex. With a little patience it has great results.
As a 22 year Captain, the inside of the planes are filthy beyond belief. The airlines don’t want to spend the money to actually clean, they wait till the carpet and seats are so filthy they replace them, for anything under a 1000 miles I will drive. The air filtration systems are the worst, had a mechanic tell me that they don’t replace the filters until the plane “smells like ass”. A ramper overfill the lav tank, the airplane was back in service in 12 hours, they only cleaned the patently obvious filth. Budget airlines, this is your cheap ticket.
I worked on aircraft for 20 years, 10 in the RAF and another 10 as a contractor in Europe and the Middle East. I always preferred to work on military fast jet and helicopters than airliners. I've done lots of work in fuel tanks and on toilet systems but one job that stands out as the smelliest, was stripping out the galley floor of a BAe ATP. Absolutely disgusting! I left 17 years ago for work offshore and I've never looked back. I still get job offers from some aircraft agencies. The pay seems to have improved recently, but no thanks.
Rag and a bucket? You'd think there would be something more high tech to clean a giant plane. Even a hose.
How would anyone spot cracks and corrosion washing with a hose at an inspection.
@@RelativeWind Are the rag cleaners trained in metal inspection though?
@@kewkabe most folks know what a crack or leak looks like.
A better clean is achieved with a cloth.
Power washers don't always get every bit of stuck on grime off a surface despite what you might think and on a plane you want it clean as possible.
On top of that you are spraying water all over the place when you have technicians working underneath, engine cowlings off, covers off, where water and muck can infiltrate.
@@richardcranium3579 cleaners do not inspect anything. They just clean and an engineer will inspect when the area when is clean.
7:31 the good ol' trusty Henry vac. Good enough to deep clean aeroplanes, it's good enough for my home.
Dont forget the exhaust from the older jet engines. These are v2500s so no big deal.
When we strip the cabins at work for heavy checks, we call it seat track casserole because there's always bits of food stuck in it. We also find a decent amount of coins. As we truck seats out, we pocket whatever we find, and whoever finds the least amount in change has to buy pizza for the crew that Friday. Sometimes, we get into disputes over who saw a quarter first, and we settle it with a best 3 out of 5 rock, paper, scissors match. We've pretty much turned it into the worlds worst extreme sport, but the stakes are high.
I salute you guys. Good job 💪💪💪💪
And they seemingly do this mostly without any air filters. Wonder how much that impacts their health, short and long term.
Thank you for sharing this video about the aircraft cleaning of this aircraft... Nice...
They should be on some sort of mechanics’ creeper with some scaffolding instead of hurting their neck. It’s vital to their productivity too, other than workers’ health
2:25 This guy looks and sounds like GradeAUnderA lool
That's the reason why most aircraft always look as if they are new, even if they are many decades old.
Good reminder that behind the magic of flight is just a hard working heavy industrial machine.
I wonder why the vacuum suction pipe doesn’t have a brush attachment on it? Would seem better to get the dust up off of plastic instead of making a suction connection against the plastics
All these men put so much effort
The video's so old Monarch was still in business
Jets always have a weird chemical cleaner smell inside. I always just thought it was the interior- aviation type plastics and what not.
Once I began wrenching at a jet center, I discovered the smell is the blue toilet chemical. Now, instead of getting that "Oh, the jet smell... can't wait to fly in this thing!" it's more like "Oh, the toilet chemical smell....we're smelling the toilet chemical the whole flight..."
no matter at what level you clean . Henry is always on you side.
I was expecting a dozen pressure washers and foaming water wands galore. Somebody call Blue Beacon.
2:31 mans called the brake and strut tubing wires?😂
The wiring on landing gears are usually housed in solid or braided flexible conduits like the ones in the video
Never take your socks or shoes off on a plane
I’d have thought they’d have used a “jet wash” to clean the outside 😆
One of the biggest issues for aircraft is corrosion caused from leaking toilets and water systems! Any leaking plastic piping (flexi and firm) tends to corrode around the Aluminum parts of the aircraft! This metal is very susceptible to corrosion and its an expensive fix!
Glad the how it's made narrator is still in business
Was on a flight from Fort Lauderdale 2 weeks ago and witnessed an animal cleaning his teeth with floss. He was throwing the debris on the floor of the aircraft.
Once a year this is done? I'd change that to every 4 months.
Monarch? Haven't seen them since 2017 :P This video must be old
Why people would think it would be any cleaner than a city bus or trolley? Peoples bad habits exist everywhere.
"The most disgusting thing about airplanes, the answer MAY NOT surprise you" 😆
lmao dudes just hoovering with a henry and billing probably 20k
Not really
Toilets are the most disgusting thing about flying. They are cramped and filthy.
When smoking was still permitted, stinky tar enhanced the cleaning process, especially cockpit electronics!
