Airport on Facebook (German only)

Winter Service

Due to its operating duties the airport is obliged to remain open during operating hours.

 

This means it is responsible for clearing the snow and the de-icing. The winter season at the airport has extremely high costs.


De-icing of operational surfaces
The airport takes care of the mechanical clearing of the snow with ploughs and cutter blowers and also the chemical de-icing of operational surfaces and aircraft. Urea, chemical de-icing fluid which are 100% bio-degradable.
There is a black ice warning system which checks the constant temperature of the ground and air through a sensitive sensor. The most exact temperature can be measured in the take-off and landing area of the runway. This information makes it possible to use the ground de-icing chemicals in an extremely environmentally friendly way.

 

Vehicles
The airport owns snow ploughs, snow blowing machines, snow cutters and runway liquid de-icers. At Salzburg Airport the clearing of the snow is done by 10 so-called winter wervice units. Each unit has a truck with a plough and snow blower.
