Aircraft Cleaning & Detailing at Cardiff Airport
Cardiff is Wales's international gateway and one of the UK's significant aircraft engineering centres — which means aircraft arrive here for serious attention, and appearance care belongs in the same visit. An airframe emerging from scheduled maintenance deserves to look the way it now performs.
We serve Cardiff-based and Cardiff-visiting aircraft with full exterior and interior detailing, and we're well placed for maintenance-input timing: the aircraft is already out of service, the hangar time is already booked, and a detail slots neatly alongside.
Around two hours from base — an easy planned run down the M50/M4.
Wales's gateway, and its engineering hub
The mix at Cardiff runs from business jets and turboprops through to heavy maintenance visitors, with a strong hangar culture. That suits deeper work: paint enhancement and protection, brightwork, interior restoration — jobs that benefit from an aircraft being down for a few days rather than squeezed between sectors.
Aligned with your hangar or handler
Access is arranged by you, your handling agent or your maintenance provider under the airport's contractor rules. We are independent of the airport operator and of every maintenance organisation — we simply coordinate with whoever holds your aircraft so the appearance work lands at the right point in the visit.
Blue Horizon Aviation is an independent service provider and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the operator of Cardiff Airport. Airside access is arranged by you or your handling agent — see our Service Terms. Appearance care only; we never perform maintenance or engineering work.

Questions
Cardiff — questions answered
What owners and operators at Cardiff Airport ask us most.
Can you detail the aircraft while it's in for maintenance?
That's often the ideal time — the aircraft is already positioned and out of service. We coordinate timing with your maintenance provider so cleaning never interferes with engineering work, and the aircraft leaves looking as good as it flies.
Do you cover the rest of Wales?
Yes — Cardiff is the anchor, but quotations are UK-wide and that includes Welsh airfields from Swansea to Caernarfon and Hawarden. Travel is quoted transparently for each location.
Who arranges airside access?
You or your handling agent, under the airport's normal rules for contractors attending an aircraft. We comply with every escorting and vehicle requirement that comes with it.
