Best Answer

Most airports simply use snowplows and salt on the runways. Just like what is used on roads and highways.

Some airports also use "snow melters" - large tractors or trucks fitted with blowers that blow hot air onto the surface of the runway like a giant hair dryer. The snow and ice may also be scooped up and brought to a mobile snow melting machine for disposal.
