Zurich Airport has developed a special system
for the handling of aircraft deicing wastewater, in
which physical and chemical as well as natural
degradation processes were conducted. Depend-
ing on the carbon concentration, the wastewater
will be delivered to the different processes.
Furthermore, Zurich Airport has developed a new
training programme for snow and ice removal,
which can be used on mobile devices.
What are the key airside safety challenges
you face at your airport in particular?
Zurich Airport has a complex layout, which
reflects some safety challenges on a day-

of two runways and several dependencies
between all three runways (safety, capacity,
noise, responsibility).
