Getting rid of winter de-icing flight delays for good
Unlike the chemical spray method, De-Ice is fast, efficient, and chemical-free.
De-Ice eliminates weather-related departure delays and carbon emissions.
Today all commercial and military aircraft use sprays made with propylene glycol or ethylene glycol to remove snow or ice prior to takeoff. Producing, transporting, and heating these chemicals generates significant carbon dioxide emissions.
