Average prices of deicing fluid
Pricing for de-icing at LIMF (Turino)...
Last night we needed to have our wings and tail de-iced in Torino due to frost.
The handler arranged for the truck to meet us at our stand. We requested Type I with a 50/50 mix. A total of 220 litres was applied at €4.50/litre.
They billed us €990 for the Type I fluid but then charged us an extra €450 for the de-icing truck!
So the grand total for our de-icing was €1440 for 220 litres or €6.55/litre.
I like the way they charge us for the truck separately which artificially keeps the cost of the de-icing fluid per litre down in price.

THAT reminds me of a mx shop (and a very well respected one) that started to charge for opening their hangar doors. I asked them to work outside then, which solved the problem (they hid the charge someplace else, undoubtably...)
Sorry for OT.

ROFL… Brilliant.
I think I read somewhere, maybe in a thread when I was asking about catering… In places, a 5kg bag of wet ice is €100 or something silly like that…
In this thread, be cheaper to put on a pair of gloves and go chip it off the wing…
