Aircraft De-icing Service
A proven and unique service offering forecasts of aircraft icing conditions for airports worldwide.
Ground de-icing of aircraft is commonly performed in both commercial and general aviation. An instruction to de-ice aircraft can reduce delays and cut de-icing costs. This also reduces environmental impact by cutting the usage and wastage of de-icing fluid.
The de-icing forecast service provides forecast parameters of temperature, dewpoint, snow and weather type, delivered via web interface, along with an email and SMS instruction to carry out de-icing of fleet on the day when icing conditions are expected.
