Remote De-Icing Pads

With on-time performance being one of the highest priorities for the industry and parking stands being considered as prime real estate, innovative solutions that keep things moving during cold weather operations are essential to any airport operation.

We don’t believe that large, expensive and fixed infrastructure is always the answer, particularly at airports such as those in Western Europe where the weather is often unpredictable.

We provide a range of services associated with cost effective, remote and engines running De-Icing pads, which are portable, quick and easy to set up and run and deliver many benefits to airports, airlines, GSP’s and the travelling public.

Check out the videos below from our Vimeo feed for examples of what can be achieved in a relatively short space of time and for minimal comparative cost.
