What is an aircraft cleaner?
What does an aircraft cleaner do?
An aircraft cleaner cleans and restocks the interior areas of a commercial aircraft. In this career, your responsibilities include cleaning all areas of the passenger cabin, lavatories, galleys, and overhead compartments. You remove trash, clean floors, and seats, and ensure that passengers did not leave luggage or other items behind in the aircraft. You may assist baggage handlers, aircraft crew, or catering staff as you clean, clear, and stock the cabin according to expectations.

| Aspect | Aircraft Cleaner | Aircraft Maintenance Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically no formal certifications required, though some may have basic training | Requires certifications such as FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) license |
