Ryanair in hot water over aircraft de-icing
operations
Ryanair's recent de-icing techniques have come under
scrutiny as a video has emerged of buckets of hot water being used to de-ice a
plane.
Ecole Nationale de l'Aviation Civile (ENAC) has
launched an inquiry on de-icing activities at Brindisi Airport in southern
Italy, after a video appears to show airside operations staff de-icing an
aircraft wing with buckets of hot water.
The video was filmed by Italian
politician Mauro D'Attis. The practise has been criticised, but according to
guidelines, defrosting a plane with "buckets of hot water at 60ºC [is] allowed
when the air temperature is 0ºC". Tabloid newspaper, The Sun, reported that the
airport operators added: "The Captain was aware and satisfied. The procedure was
to remove a little residual snow. It was a perfectly safe
procedure."
ENAC issued a statement which said: "In relation to press
reports and videos circulated in recent days that report de-icing of the wings
of aircraft departing from Brindisi Airport were carried out manually and in an
inadequate manner, the National Agency for the Civil Aviation announces that it
has initiated inspections on airport operations conducted at the airport in
conjunction with the snowfall that affected the area.
"The ENAC
technicians will be at Brindisi Airport to verify the management of the
emergency derived from adverse weather conditions and the situation that has
been determined."
