GHI will be hosting the Winter Operations Webinar on July 30.

The impact of COVID-19 on de-icing activity will be on the agenda at GHI’s Webinar on delivering a more effective winter operations strategy.

GHI has teamed up with Wiseleap, aviation cloud applications provider for the aviation industry, to host the free-to-attend event: https://markallengroup.zoom.us/webinar/register/2815930817066/WN_Je6VibKUTcm5-_WsB1oG6A

Panellists comprising business leaders from airlines, ground handlers and GSE suppliers will discuss the fall-out of the pandemic on equipment use, cleaning and de-icing procedures this winter. The session will also investigate the broader components of a successful winter operations campaign. Key topics will include the role of stakeholder collaboration in boosting de-icing efficiency, reducing delays and preventing aircraft damage. The Webinar will also explore de-icing equipment and de-icing fluid innovations that can help operators treat aircraft quicker, more effectively and safely when the pressure is on.

The Webinar panel will also investigate employee training and de-icing simulator programmes in preparing our people for high performance in harsh conditions.

  • Stakeholder collaboration: working together to boost preparedness, safety and efficiency of airport operations when cold weather strikes at short notice
  • De-icing equipment innovation: taking the pressure off operators by improving the design of de-icing equipment to boost visibility, enhance communication, reduce treatment times and aid safety when the OTP pressure is on
  • GSE strategies for the cold: maintenance and modifications to maintain safety and performance
  • Employee training and protective wear: putting the skill sets in place to react to the sudden arrival of cold weather: multi-skilling ramp teams and the role of simulator training. Procuring the right PPE for freezing conditions and the link between cold weather and poor safety decisions.
