Wibax manages the Logistics of deicer for airport

Most people who have visited an airport in the winter months have seen how the airports work to keep the runways free of ice. We can now explain how the deicer gets to the airports.

Together with Perstorp, Wibax has developed a logistics concept that means that Wibax stores and transports deicer to a number of airports in Sweden. At present, we have storage at two of our own terminals and transport deicer to Landvetter, Malmö Airport, Bromma, Arlanda and Umeå airports.

As an aside, it is worth mentioning that Arlanda was surprised by a snow storm in autumn 2016. Of course Wibax offered help and delivered deicer to avoid can-celled departures, but to make sure that the Wibax lorry got there as quickly as possible and did not get stuck in traffic, Swedavia arranged a police escort for our tank lorry. The deicer got there on time and Arlanda was able to continue to keep the ice off the runways.
