Best Answer

De-icing an aircraft involves spraying the outside of the aircraft, especially the control surfaces, with hot air blowers, hot water and an alcohol-based fluid.

The fluid is the most expensive component, costing about $15/litre. A medium-sized airliner will need between 200-300 litres of fluid or $3,000 - $4,500 to de-ice.

If the weather is very extreme, it could take 1,000 litres ($15,000) to clear a large aircraft, like a B747.
