...just recognising a very good operation at Zurich.
However, to be fair, these are airports where snow is a feature for several months of the year!

Please note I am not knocking the UK, just recognising a very good operation at Zurich.

Nor was I, at least not in post #21. And I felt that other airports should get some credit too, for efficient anti- and de-icing operations.
PS Just occasionally the CAA comes out with some excellent documents. This FODCOM about winter ops is one of those and worth a read by anyone involved with aircraft operations in winter, as well as people who get FODCOMs anyway.

Completely agree with Final3Greens re the efficiency at Zurich - my family and I transferred there last Thus evening and were mightily impressed. We were late inbound from Manchester due to the weather delays and our expected transfer time of ~1hr shrank to 20 mins. Smoothly off the aircraft, onto bus, into terminal, straight onto train, immediate depart, birdsong, yodelling, off train, through efficient security check, onto HKG flight with 5 mins to spare. Six year old daughter then tickled pink at watching de-icing procedure running like clockwork from her window seat - she ducked invountarily at one point when the window copped a spray!
