Air India to adopt GE’s 360 Foam Wash

Following technology trials and aircraft maintenance technician training, Air India is the latest airline to adopt GE’s 360 Foam Wash to help maintain its GEnx-powered Boeing 787 fleet. Air India previously received a technical license from GE Aviation to use GE’s patented 360 Foam Wash system on its GEnx-1B aircraft engines and has now industrialized the innovative cleaning system into its maintenance process. GE’s 360 Foam Wash is an alternative to the water wash method. It helps restore engine performance leading to reductions in fuel consumption. The process involves injecting a specially-formulated, proprietary solution that removes dust and dirt particles
