Airport Kitchen Hood Cleaning & Fire Prevention

Concourse concessions, airline clubs, and terminal food courts can't afford a grease fire — or a failed inspection. Facilitec Southwest provides badged, overnight, NFPA 96–compliant hood cleaning for airports across TX, OK, LA, NM & AR.

One Grease Fire Can Ground a Concourse

Airport kitchens never stop. Red-eye travelers, rushed layovers, and 18-hour concession schedules mean exhaust hoods accumulate grease faster than nearly any other commercial setting. When that grease ignites, consequences multiply fast — evacuated gates, diverted flights, triggered suppression systems, and federal-level reporting. Facilitec Southwest keeps that risk off the runway with specialized airport hood cleaning designed for security-controlled, always-open environments.

Why Airport Kitchens Are a Unique Fire Risk

Regular hood cleaning dramatically reduces your risk by keeping flammable grease out of the exhaust system and ensuring your suppression system can perform properly during an emergency.
