Chinese gateway Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport has bought new snow removal and de-icing equipment to help its operations in the winter months.
The GSE has been purchased from the Boschung Group and the delivery includes a total of 12 winter maintenance vehicles – 10 Jetbroom snow removal vehicles and two airport de-icers.
A total of 18 jetbrooms, 2 de-icing vehicles, 1 Pony multipurpose carrier and an ice early-warning system from Boschung are now in use at Dalian Airport.
The Chinese port city of Dalian on the Yellow Sea has an important aviation hub with its Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport. Flights to and from Japan, Korea and Russia as well as numerous domestic flights are handled here.
Dalian has a continental climate influenced by the monsoon, with humid summers and cold winters. During the cold months, the average temperature drops to below zero with considerable precipitation, so the airport has to provide the necessary capacity for winter maintenance.
Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport, the oldest customer in China, has been using Boschung’s Surface Condition Management since 1996. This system provides for the rapid clearing of snow and ice from airport operating areas through the interaction of stationary systems and mobile emergency vehicles.
