LEEDS Bradford Airport has announced a partnership to keep its runways free from ice during winter.

The airport is working with Leeds-based LNT Solutions which is providing its third generation runway de-icer GEN3.

Richard Duncan, airside operations panager, said: “Leeds Bradford is pleased to support and work closely with LNT Solutions. The GEN3 de-icer introduced at LBA has already delivered exceptional results in the most challenging of wintry conditions over the past six weeks allowing aircraft to operate with minimal disruption.”

Philip Newton, UK commercial manager for LNT Solutions, added: “Forming a new partnership with LBA with a groundbreaking product is very exciting. LBA joins a growing list of early adopters of next generation runway de-icers worldwide.”
