Peel Airports has awarded a three-year cleaning contract worth £1.1 million to Initial Air Services, part of Initial Facilities Services. Under the agreement, Initial Air Services will provide cleaning and support services at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, Durham Tees Valley Airport, and Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield.

Initial Air Services will be responsible for all internal and external cleaning requirements throughout the three airports including both passenger and restricted access areas. The contract will utilise a range of innovative features including computerised inspection systems, robotic and battery-powered equipment, and specialist cleaning materials, to meet the unique needs of the airport environment.

Around 50 members of the existing cleaning team will move to Initial Air Services under TUPE regulations, ensuring appropriate legislative compliance and employee protection. This will also support the efficient transfer of the operation to Initial Air Services and prevent any related disruption and downtime to the cleaning service.

Hugh Lang, Group Airports Director, at Peel Airports said: “Due to the unique nature of the airport, we required a cleaning partner that could work closely with our management teams to provide a tailored, flexible and responsive solution. Initial Air Services were able to demonstrate an innovative approach, which will add value to our day-to-day airport operations.”

Colin Marshall, Business Development Director at Initial Air Services commented: “We are delighted that Peel Airports has chosen Initial Air Services as its cleaning partner. Our specialised knowledge in this unique industry sector has enabled us to develop a solution that not only meets the varied cleaning requirements of each airport, but also the changing needs of passengers, airlines and associated businesses.

Initial Air Services possesses extensive experience of working within the UK aviation industry. In addition to this latest contract win, the company provides dedicated cleaning solutions for a growing list of airports including Manchester, London Stansted and Nottingham East Midlands. Elsewhere, Initial Air Services also has cleaning units operating out of London Heathrow and London Gatwick.
