De-icing Service

AviaCast is MeteoGroup’s tailored site specific forecasting service that enables airlines and aircraft de-icing service providers to manage and minimise the effects of adverse weather on airline departures.

Developed with the assistance of airlines and de-icing providers, AviaCast provides dedicated, site-specific forecasts that include:

• An overview of each client station
• 24 hour site specific winter hazard forecasts, updated every hour
• Long range site specific forecast updated twice a day
• 24 hour holdover time chart based on client defined fluid types and dilutions
• Precipitation forecast radar
• Decision alerts sent directly to de-icing crews
• Direct access to a meteorologist, 24 hours a day (optional)

Using accurate and appropriate site specific weather information has many benefits:

• Better planning resulting in controlled mobilisation and improved safety
• Fewer weather related flight delays – improved on-time performance
• Avoidance of costly de-icing by preventatively anti-icing when appropriate
• Improved resourcing – staff levels and fluid purchase/storage
• Reduction in fluid dumping instances – environmental benefit
