Aircraft De-icing Costs

[AV8OR]

I am trying to compile some data on aircraft de-icing costs: Please post what your minimum and maximum costs have been to de-ice your aircraft this year, type of aircraft, whether it was wings and tail or total de-ice, airport de-ice took place, FBO used and if you remember, the amount of time it delayed your departure to get de-iced.

Thank you

No way to pin down an average cost for us I'd say, but...last few seasons:

Quick wings and tail at home - about $700

Full deice after freezing fog at Basel (LFSB) - about $11,000

neither delayed departure.

We do our best to arrange departures around the need to de-ice. Our people know that and are very happy to change times, or even dates, of departure as we do mostly pleasure flying.

Sometimes moving schedule even a few hours can save thousands and lots of headaches.

We also repo out of places that leave you outside in the winter...for example: we wont sit outside in Ski town places, we will repo to front range.

And I though when we got charged $1,200 in CVG for a deice in a Cessna 310 we got taken to the cleaners! Those are some hefty bills! That was the highest I've had the lowest was proably about $250 in Racine Wisconsin.

Crashing a plane...very costly!
