Air Canada becomes first airline to install GaN de-icing technology

Montreal-based Air Canada sought a technology-focused way to keep their fleet free from ice and ready for takeoff. They found their solution from De-Ice in Boston.

The company, which uses electromagnetic technology to de-ice aircraft announced that its first customer, Air Canada, will begin the first-ever installation of De-Ice systems on an Airbus A320-series aircraft this winter, with other aircraft planned to follow. Today's chemical-spray ice removal process can add 30 to 45 minutes to the journey. This new technology will meaningfully reduce the departure delays and the carbon footprint associated with chemical de-icing.
