[QUOTE=j636;9303944]So MAN has less than 6 de-ricers for an airport handling close to 25 million, ridiculous.
How many do EDI, GLA, LPL, BHX have, one would expect a much higher ration to the actual numbers of passengers handled.
T5 LHR handled 32M passengers in 2014, BA has 25 deicing rigs in use there IIRC albeit there is a higher proportion of wide bodied movements there which as someone has said needs to tie up 2-4 rigs simultaneously to avoid holdover issues in falling snow.
