Winter Readiness 2024: Deicing Training Takes Off This Season
At Miles Aviation Consulting, we’re proud to announce that this deicing season, we have significantly expanded our training program, reaching more locations and participants than ever before. With over 250 individuals trained across 14 key locations in Europe, our team has been busy ensuring that ground teams are fully prepared to keep aircraft safe and operational, no matter the winter weather.
This year, we expanded our reach to locations including Vilnius, London-City, London-Gatwick, Southend, Manchester, Amsterdam, Bilbao, Barcelona, Groningen, Bournemouth, Exeter, Edinburgh, Brize Norton, and Lisbon.
We trained at all levels of the deicing team, covering roles from De-Icing Vehicle Drivers (DI-L10) and De-Icing Operators (DI-L20) to De-Icing Instructors (DI-L40) and even Head of De-Icing Training (DI-L70).
Our valued clients this season include London-City Airport, Aer Lingus, London-Southend Airport, Babcock International, Exeter International Airport, Bournemouth International Airport, Up & Away Aviation Services, Litcargus, Aviapartner, Ping Group, Groningen Eelde Airport, Red Handling, and more. Together, we’ve worked to ensure their teams are expertly prepared for winter’s challenges.
