Winter Wonderland At Frankfurt Airport - 33 Minutes of Pure Aviation - DE-ICING operations

Hey all!

Welcome to our latest video! As you might have seen we are just back home after a amazing ‪@airportfra‬ trip this week.

We arrived at monday, starting the day with rain. But slowly the rain converted into heavy snowfall. For over 9 hours of non stop snow action gave us the oppertunity to film the best action right in front of us.

A lot of new content had been filmed this trip. But first enjoy this 34 minute de-icing video!

Thank you all so much for watching! If you like our content, Please feel free to hit that like and subscribe button!

A little information about N*ICE. The de-icing company that is working at the airport to make sure every aircraft is leaving in a safe and ice free way!

Frankfurt has a large capacity of de-icing trucks.

17x  Vestergaard Elephant BETA de-icing truck with a capacity of 8000L. One 4000L water tank and two fluid tanks of 2000L

34x Vestergaard Elephant BETA-15 de-icing truck with a capacity of 8000L. One 4000L water tank and two fluid tanks of 2000L

2x Vestergaard Elephant BETA 15 XXL de-icing truck with a capacity of 12.000L. One 5000L water tank one 4000L fluid tank and another 3000L fluid tank

2x Vestergaard Elephant My de-icing trucks with a capacity of 7600L. One 3600L water tank and two fluid tanks of 2000L

The fluid comes out of the nozzle with a temperature of 55-80C or 130-180F!

The amount of de-icing fluid that is required for a Boeing 747 with only frost on it is around 400 Liters. If it is fully covered in snow it takes around a whopping 1000 Liters.


The fluids that are being used are De-icing fluid and Anti-icing fluids.

(Type-I) The De-icing fluid is the orange fluid being used.

The Anti-icing fluids are coming in three different varieties.

(Type-II) The clear fluid, This fluid is used on smaller aircrafts with very little ice and retains its effect for the least long.
(Type-III) The Yellow fluid, This fluid used on short-mid-long range aircraft and has a sufficient holdover time, just like the Type-I
(Type-IV) The Green fluid, High Viscosity, Long holdover time.
