ED Decision 2025/008/R
PREPARATION OF DE-ICING/ANTI-ICING OPERATIONS IN COORDINATION WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS CONCERNED
(a) It is recommended that, whenever possible, CAT operators, aerodrome operators and ground handling organisations providing de-icing/anti-icing services coordinate the process of preparing for de-icing/anti-icing operations in sufficient time in advance of the cold season starting. The plan for the winter season should be communicated to all stakeholders concerned.
(b) Coordination includes the following elements for all stakeholders involved, as a minimum.
(1) Exchanging of documents/procedures/manuals covering cold season operations, with the CAT operator ensuring that the relevant instructions and procedures are accessible at all stations where it operates.
(2) Dissemination by the aerodrome operator of the local procedures to operators and ground handling organisations, including instructions and procedures for cold weather operations at the aerodrome of operation.
(c) The operator ensures that the relevant personnel receive training, as appropriate, in de‑icing/anti-icing operations.
(d) It is recommended that the operator participate, when possible, in the testing of the plan for winter operations at the relevant aerodromes of operation when such tests are organised by the aerodrome operators and the ground handling organisations providing de-icing/anti-icing services.
