Not sure if this is accurate or not but on another thread they were commenting on the cost of the specialist grit / de-ice compund at around £30,000 a day to clear a fully snowbound runway with the grit osting upwards of £5,000 a ton.
Andrew, sometimes dangerous to quote as can be very misleading, grit costs me c. £37 per Tonne (ex vat) !!. Incidentally a Tonne doesn't actually go that far when one takes into account carparks etc. Ironically grit is in short supply at the moment, hope DTV have sufficient in stock
