A Long-Term Commitment to Winter Operations: Airpro and Finnair Extend Deicing Partnership

We are proud to announce the long-term extension of our deicing partnership with Finnair at Helsinki Airport. This collaboration now reaches well into the future and reflects our shared commitment to safety, reliability, and responsible innovation.

The extended agreement strengthens our operational foundation and enables us to continue delivering high-quality deicing services during the winter months with next-generation technology. At Airpro, we have long operated with Electric Elephant e-BETA deicers, making Helsinki Airport the first airport in the Nordics, and the fourth globally, to offer electric deicing. This equipment has proven its value over successive winter seasons, reinforcing our dedication to reliable and innovative ground handling services.

Tuukka Inkinen, Head of Commercial Strategy & Partnerships at Airpro, shares:
“This long-term extension with Finnair is more than a contract; it is a shared commitment to responsible innovations at Helsinki Airport. With electric e-BETA units and advanced deicing mixing technology, we are proud to lead the way in ground handling with our airline partners.”

Our double-mixing feature allows for precise blending of deicing fluids in both the deicing and anti-icing steps of the process, reducing pure propylene glycol usage. The approach can reduce the consumption of pure propylene glycol by up to thousands of litres per season. The mixing ratio is determined by the prevailing weather conditions.

With this extended partnership, we are not just preparing for winter, we are shaping the future of responsible aviation ground handling.
