Full Interior Detail at Naples Capodichino (LIRN)
Deep cabin cleaning, leather conditioning and galley service between legs at Naples Capodichino.
Full Interior Detail at Naples Capodichino serves flight departments operating super-midsize through ultra-long-range jets into Naples on scheduled rotations or one-off Mediterranean charters. We work airside at LIRN with all four handling agents present at the airport, cleaning the entire cabin—leather, veneer, carpets, galley, lavatory and flight deck—while the aircraft is on stand between legs or during longer ground stops. The service runs four to ten hours depending on cabin size, coordinated around your slot, crew rest and next departure.

independent, no affiliationWhat changes at Naples Capodichino for a full interior detail?
Naples Capodichino sits at 294 feet elevation with a single runway, 06/24, measuring 2628 metres. The airport operates 03:30 to 22:30 local time; a night curfew closes the field from 22:30 to 03:30 except for delayed inbound flights. Slot coordination applies to every arrival and departure, so interior work must fit the window between your inbound slot and the next PPR.
Four handling agents present at the airport—Sky Services, AviaVIP Private Handling, Alisud/GH Napoli and Fly Service—manage general aviation, and we coordinate airside access through whichever handler holds your flight. AviaVIP operates 04:00 to 21:00 UTC, which frames most daytime turnarounds. If you arrive late morning and depart the following day, we schedule the detail overnight or early morning to finish before the 22:30 curfew or resume after 03:30 reopening.
Slot pressure and curfew together mean we confirm start time, aircraft type and handler name at least 48 hours ahead. For fleets rotating through Naples weekly, we hold standing airside passes and pre-clear the handler's ramp calendar, turning a ten-hour detail into a predictable line item rather than a scramble every visit.
How do you reach the aircraft on the ramp at LIRN?
We hold current airside passes for Naples Capodichino and coordinate escort or direct access through your handling agent. Once you confirm handler and stand assignment, we notify their duty manager, share our team roster and vehicle registration, and collect the ramp-access stamp or escort officer at the appointed time. The handler typically parks business jets on their dedicated apron; we drive to the stand, set up beside the aircraft and plug into GPU if you want environmental control during the detail.
Because LIRN is slot-coordinated, handlers issue stand assignments closer to the inbound time than at smaller fields. We ask for provisional parking 24 hours out and final confirmation two hours before your arrival. If the slot moves or the handler reassigns the stand, they notify us and we adjust crew call-time to match. This rhythm works whether you are arriving from London at midday or positioning in from Olbia at dawn.
What does a full interior detail include on a super-midsize or larger cabin?
We start at the entry door and work aft, then return to the flight deck last. Every leather surface—seats, divans, side ledges—is cleaned with pH-neutral aviation leather cleaner, inspected for cracking or discolouration, then conditioned to restore suppleness. Carpets and fabric upholstery receive hot-water extraction; we pre-treat galley spills, lavatory thresholds and high-traffic aisles, then extract until the rinse water runs clear. Veneer, metal trim and plastic bezels are polished with non-abrasive compounds safe for OEM cabin materials.
The galley gets every drawer emptied, every surface wiped, drains flushed and seals checked for coffee stains or residue. The lavatory is stripped: mirror, sink, toilet, waste flap and floor, with particular attention to the door track and hinge covers where grime hides. Sidewalls, PSU panels and window surrounds are wiped down; we avoid any no-touch avionics panels and leave cockpit switches, breakers and screens to the flight deck clean, using aviation-safe wipes and microfibre only.
Cabin disinfection—fog or spray application of an approved bactericide—is available on request and adds roughly thirty minutes. We finish with a walk-through photograph series and a two-page report left in the tech log or handed to the captain, documenting every area cleaned and any wear or damage noted.
How long does the work take, and can it fit a same-day turnaround at Naples?
Duration depends on cabin size and condition. A super-midsize eight-seat cabin in routine use takes four to five hours; an ultra-long-range layout with bedroom, shower and full galley runs eight to ten hours if we include deep extraction and veneer polish. If the aircraft flew a Mediterranean charter season without interior service, add another hour for stain pre-treatment and a second extraction pass on the carpets.
Same-day turnarounds are possible when you have six or more hours on the ground and the detail scope is limited—leather and galley only, or carpets deferred to the next long stop. We have completed abbreviated interior cleans in under four hours when a crew needed the cabin presentable for an owner pickup that afternoon. For monthly recurring work on a fleet aircraft, we recommend scheduling the detail during a planned overnight or a positioning day when the jet sits cold-soaked and the cabin is empty.
Do you work with fleets that rotate through Naples regularly, or only one-off charters?
Both. One-off charters—an owner's summer villa week, a corporate roadshow stopping in Naples between Rome and Athens—are scheduled case by case: you send the registration, handler name and arrival slot, we quote the detail scope and book the team. For fleets operating scheduled rotations into LIRN, we set up a standing monthly or six-weekly interior detail, pre-cleared with the handler and added to your maintenance tracking.
Recurring work means we already know the cabin configuration, the captain's preferences for cockpit cleaning and the quirks of that particular galley drain. It also lets us hold stock of the correct leather conditioner and carpet-cleaning chemistry on site, rather than ordering it each visit. Fleet programs at Naples typically bundle interior detail with an exterior dry wash or rinseless wash, so the aircraft leaves the stand clean inside and out, with one invoice and one set of before-and-after photos.
What documentation and reporting do you provide after the detail?
Every full interior detail closes with a written report and a photograph series. The report lists each area cleaned—flight deck, forward cabin, galley, lavatory, aft cabin—the products used, any stains or damage observed and the total labour hours. Photographs cover the cabin before we start, close-ups of any wear or staining we treated, and the finished result. We deliver the report as a PDF by email and leave a printed copy in the tech log pouch or hand it to the captain if the crew is on board.
For fleet customers, the report integrates into your maintenance tracking: the detail date, aircraft hours or cycles at the time of service, and the next recommended interval. If we note torn leather, a loose veneer edge or a galley latch that needs adjustment, we flag it in the report so your maintenance team can schedule the repair at the next base visit. The documentation is written for chief pilots and flight-department managers who need to demonstrate cabin care to owners or auditors, not just a checklist for the cleaners.
Questions operators ask about Full Interior Detail at Naples Capodichino
How far in advance should we book a full interior detail at Naples Capodichino?
Forty-eight hours minimum; one week ahead for slots during summer or holiday peaks. Because LIRN is slot-coordinated and handlers finalise stand assignments closer to arrival, we ask for 48 hours' notice to confirm team availability and airside access. During July, August and the Christmas period, when Naples sees higher business-jet traffic, booking one week ahead ensures we have the crew and the ramp slot reserved.
Can you clean the cabin while the aircraft is on GPU and the air conditioning is running?
Yes, if the handler provides GPU and you request environmental control. We routinely work with cabin air running, particularly in summer when the cabin would otherwise overheat. Coordinate GPU with your handler when you file the handling request; we plug in once the aircraft is chocked and powered down, then proceed with the detail under normal cabin temperature.
Do you use the same products on every aircraft type, or does it vary by OEM?
We match products to the OEM cabin materials—different leather cleaners for Gulfstream, Bombardier or Dassault interiors. Each manufacturer specifies approved cleaning agents for their leather, veneer and fabrics. We carry separate product sets for Gulfstream, Bombardier Global and Challenger, Dassault Falcon, Embraer Phenom and Legacy, and Textron Citation cabins, following the maintenance manual or the completion centre's material guide.
What happens if you find damage—torn leather or a stained carpet—during the detail?
We document it with photographs, note it in the report and clean around it without making it worse. Any damage observed is photographed, described in the written report and left for your maintenance team to repair. We do not attempt field repairs—stitching, dye or patch work—during a detail; we clean what is intact and flag the rest so you can schedule proper cabin restoration at your main base.
Can the full interior detail include the cargo belly and gear bays, or is that separate?
Belly and gear bays are a separate exterior detail service, not included in cabin work. The full interior detail covers everything from the entry door inward: cabin, galley, lavatory and flight deck. Belly, gear bays, nacelle interiors and wheel wells are part of an exterior detail or deep clean service, quoted and scheduled separately because they require different tools, lighting and access.
Do you disinfect the cabin as standard, or is that an optional add-on?
Disinfection is optional; we apply aviation-approved bactericide fog or spray on request. Standard detail includes cleaning and conditioning; disinfection is added when you request it—common after a charter with many passengers, during flu season or before an owner flight. We use products approved for aircraft interiors, applied as a fine mist or wipe, and the cabin is dry and odour-free within thirty minutes.
How do you handle flight-deck cleaning without touching avionics or switches?
We use aviation-safe wipes and microfibre, avoiding all switches, breakers, screens and no-touch panels. The flight deck is cleaned with the same care as the cabin: seats, yoke covers, side consoles and floor mats are wiped or vacuumed, but we never touch switches, circuit breakers, multifunction displays or any panel marked no-touch. If the captain prefers we skip the cockpit entirely, we honour that and focus on the passenger cabin.
Can you coordinate the interior detail with an exterior wash on the same day at Naples?
Yes, we schedule both services back-to-back on the same stand, with one team and one invoice. Combining interior detail and exterior wash—rinseless or dry—is common for fleet rotations and charter turnarounds. We arrive, complete the exterior first while the cabin cools, then move inside for the detail. The handler is notified once, the aircraft is cleaned in one visit and you receive a single report covering both services.
What is the recommended interval for a full interior detail on a business jet?
Monthly for high-utilisation aircraft; every six to eight weeks for moderate use. Jets flying two hundred hours a month—charter, shuttle or frequent owner trips—benefit from monthly interior service to prevent staining and wear. Moderate-use aircraft, one hundred hours or fewer per month, can stretch the interval to six or eight weeks. Before any high-visibility flight, a detail ensures the cabin presents well regardless of the calendar.
Do you need the crew present during the detail, or can we leave the aircraft with the handler?
Crew presence is not required; we coordinate access through the handler and lock up when finished. Most details proceed with the aircraft empty: the crew is at the hotel, the handler provides ramp access and we lock the cabin door and return the keys when the work is complete. If a captain or flight attendant prefers to stay on board, we work around them and answer any questions as we go.
