Ice Operations

Ice Operations refer to the activities involved in managing ice on airports, primarily for aircraft safety and efficiency. This includes applying de-icing and anti-icing fluids to aircraft surfaces to prevent ice buildup, clearing ice and snow from runways and taxiways through plowing and removal, and maintaining safe conditions for takeoffs and landings. The goal is to ensure aircraft can operate safely in cold, icy conditions while minimizing delays. These operations require specialized equipment, trained personnel, and timely responses to changing weather to keep airports functioning smoothly during winter weather.
