Airport staff fight the snow - Local News - News - Gazette Live: "FOUR industrial runway sweepers, two snow ploughs, two huge de-icing rigs, one snow blower and an entire crew dedicated to clearing up around the clock.
And still the snow continues to play havoc with flight schedules at Durham Tees Valley Airport which was still closed earlier today!
“It’s frustrating for everybody,” said Shaun Woods, airport manager and deputy airport director. “We try not to say the weather will beat us but you can’t have any contamination of a runway. It’s not like a road, it needs to be in 100% condition.”
Contingency plans were being made for snowfall as far back - as it now seems - as the summer."
