The purpose of the symposium is to provide a forum for dialogue on the numerous aspects of winter operations at airports.
A Tradition Spanning Over 40 Years
A heavy snowstorm can easily cost a major airport a quarter of a million dollars for snow and ice removal alone. Associated operating delays commonly multiply the cost, and the value of the time lost by air travelers is practically incalculable but very real, nevertheless.
Fortunately, these costs and delays can be minimized by sound strategies, effective equipment and efficient techniques for coping with snow, slush and ice. These elements are exactly what the annual International Aviation Snow Symposium is all about.
