Conference Objectives

During the winter of 2010-11 the European snowstorms caught the entire aviation industry by surprise. Airports in other regions of the world are equally confronted with weather challenges and this forum will bring all parties together to discuss solutions for the future.

Aviation, airports and aviation leaders, experts and policy-makers from all over the world will assemble in Iceland on October 10, 2011 to discuss the lessons learned from the airports and airlines winter operations in Europe in 2009 and 2010 and how technology, rules, regulations, airports equipment and personal training must be improved before the next winter snowfalls and storms in Europe. We will also like to address the effects of “extreme weather conditions” on airport and airlines operations like in Queensland, Australia, US, etc.

What has been learned?
What are the effects of winter snowfalls on airports and airplanes and can they been reduced?
Technology for snow removal of runways, aircraft de-icing, etc.
Weather monitoring, reporting and forecasting systems and models.
