BENEFITS OF AIRPORT WEATHER SERVICE
 
 
By incorporating actual and forecast data in your decision making process the benefits can be:

Efficient Resource Planning
Knowing in advance when hazardous conditions are likely to occur means human and hardware resources can be better anticipated and put in place exactly when required. This will improve efficiency within your maintenance operation.

Improve Airport Safety and Reduce Delays
Knowing when critical thresholds will be reached means that pro-active maintenance measures can be taken. For example on runways, anti-icing procedures can be implemented before ice has a chance to form and snow clearance can be initiated avoiding the closure of a runway. These preventative measures have been shown to dramatically reduce the number of runway incidents by limiting (or eliminating) the time a runway is unsafe. Glycol requirements can also be anticipated in advance allowing for pro-active management of stocks.

Reduce Amount of Chemicals Required to Treat Surfaces
Less chemicals are required to prevent ice forming than to thaw existing ice on pavement surfaces. So by using Pelmorex Runway Weather Service in your maintenance decision process, preventative measures can be better implemented. Case studies have shown that this technology can reduce chemical requirements by 20% while improving safety and increasing accessibility. And of course less chemical usage is environmentally advantageous, means less vehicle corrosion and is economically beneficial to maintenance companies.
