Heated Runway Systems
The ICAX website received a large number of visitors in May 2012 following a series of articles on Heated Runway Systems:
Airports Will Steal Summer’s Heat to Thaw Frozen Winter Runways was top story on Gizmodo.
Keeping Airport Runways Clear In Winter with Heat Saved From The Summer appeared on Fast Co.Exist.
Heated Runway Systems was published in Jane's Airport Review in March 2012.
These articles in turn linked back to an article which had appeared in the Telegraph in April 2011: Geothermal heating could solve Heathrow's ice problem.
However, if you want a deeper analysis of the problems that disrupted Heathrow in December 2010, and a practical solution, we would refer you to Deicing Heathrow's Aircraft Parking Stands.
