We do not show up to your aircraft with one truck, as the importance of schedule and holdover times are paramount. This efficiency is achieved through proper staffing and staging of equipment. Our de-ice team, with a higher level of training and experience, used an average of 10% less fluid than other de-ice providers during the 2015 – 2016 season, and routinely spray wide-body aircraft in less than 20 minutes. Our de-ice personnel are acutely aware of aircraft systems and “Do Not Spray” areas versus our competition, therefore eliminating costly fluid ingestion incidents and APU flameouts. Our competition simply cannot provide a higher margin of safety and quality. All de-ice procedures and fluid accounting will be closely monitored plane-side by our De-Ice Coordinator, ensuring the same professionalism and dependability provided with our technical handling is instilled into our deice operation.įlightcheck utilizes the proven technology of Cryotech’s Polar type 1 and 4 fluids for their outstanding holdover times and fully biodegradable properties.
