Schiphol should get one of those, they keep getting fined for glycol contamination of surface water.

If memory serves well, CDG used to have a "plane-wash" de-icer, but it was damaged after a storm a few years ago

Hello

wow cool! De-icing must go about more than 10 times faster now

Guess it doesn't even takes 5minutes anymore.

Sounds like a great idea! It would also be easier to run, I would expect.

And the great thing about it is it works fantastic, and no CHEMICALS
