IFALPA SAFETY BULLETIN – Winter Conditions at Northern Finland Airports

IFALPA, as usual at the beginning of each winter, has published a special Safety bulletin – before the beginning of the season – about cold weather operations.

Safe winter operations normally require special procedures by airline maintenance, engineering, ground crew, and airplane de-icing personnel. In Finland, FINAVIA and TRAFICOM publish an interesting annual Safety Bulletin on winter conditions.

The attached bulletin focuses on operations in northern Finland but the content is relevant to other locations subject to similar weather. It provides excellent guidance for both flight crews and airline operators.
