Winter is coming, and American Airlines is bracing itself for the freeze by training to prepare for deicing season.

Deicing season officially started on October 1, 2024, in the Northern Hemisphere and lasts generally until the beginning of April of the following year.

According to American Airlines, every minute counts when it comes to getting an aircraft out on time during this season, so the airline’s specially trained deicing teams aim to free aircraft of snow, ice, or frost within an average of nine minutes to ensure on-time departures.
