National Airlines Commits to AGlaze Aviation Sealant™ Following Successful Trial

Saturday 28th June 2025

Following a successful evaluation of AGlaze Aviation Sealant™ on one of their Airbus A330-300 aircraft, National Airlines has placed an order to treat six additional aircraft in their B747 fleet. The decision reflects the airline’s continued focus on practical enhancements that support aircraft fuel and maintenance efficiency, aesthetics, and ESG outcomes.

“The trial delivered exactly what we were hoping for - a clear improvement in appearance with the added benefit of long-term protection.” said James Casbarro, Vice President of Technical Operations, National Airlines. “We’re pleased to move forward with the wider rollout across our fleet.”

Developed specifically for the aviation sector, AGlaze Aviation Sealant™ forms a durable, high-gloss and ultra-smooth protective layer that helps shield the aircraft’s exterior from UV degradation, corrosion, and surface contamination. Independent testing has shown that the treatment reduces parasitic drag by ≈1.3%, resulting in potential fuel savings of between 0.5% and 1%, depending on flight profile and operating conditions.

Mike Cappuccitti, Managing Director of Gryphon Aviation Partners (UK) Ltd., the exclusive worldwide sales agents for AGlaze Aviation Sealant, commented: “National Airlines’ decision to expand use of AGlaze across its B747 fleet is a strong endorsement of the product’s value. We are proud to support them in delivering tangible operational and sustainability gains.”
