How it works
Work on operational areas
Heavy machinery clears accumulated snow, and de-icing agents (solid urea and liquid glycol) are applied to prevent ice from forming and remove what's already there. The operation counts on dedicated snowplows, shovels, sweepers and sprayers.
Continuous weather monitoring
Ongoing contact with Argentina's National Weather Service, ANAC and EANA to coordinate operations as conditions evolve.
The result
Thanks to this operation, recent seasons have had no flight cancellations due to winter conditions.
