Inauguration of a New Glycol Recycling Center at SYR
The November 15th inauguration of a glycol recycling center at SYR – our second one in North America – marks a significant milestone for Aeromag and the entire industry.
On the Radar: Women’s Place in the Aviation Industry
Women’s place in the aviation industry and in the business world is a topic that is increasingly discussed in our society. However, it is not by comparing ourselves that we will successfully carve our place, but by taking action.
On the Radar: Health and Safety
Over the course of the pandemic, many occupational health and safety authorities have mandated several changes within the aviation industry. The most high-profile one was the requirement to be fully vaccinated to come to work at most federally governed airports.
On the Radar: Recycling
In today’s world, protecting the environment is a key priority for the aviation industry. Both airlines and governments are leaning towards a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to discharging deicing fluids into water sources.
On the Radar: Central Deicing Facility
A new generation of airports now focus on creating a calm, functional and aesthetically pleasing environment to reduce the stress of international travel.
On the Radar: Environmental Footprint
As a result of climate change, weather volatility has a direct impact on all aspects of the aviation industry. Heavy rain and snowfall can impact operations by reducing capacity and increasing delays and cancellations, all of which have financial implications on airlines due to lost revenues, increased operating costs and passenger inconvenience.
On the Radar: Global Impact
It is a known fact that the aviation industry has a major impact on climate change. Although our sector was hit very hard because of COVID-19, it gave us the opportunity to rethink our global impact and how to set ourselves up for a more sustainable future.
On the Radar: Economic Environment
The aerospace industry is at a crossroads. Our sector must react to a number of external events and adjust its business strategies accordingly. This is why I believe that significant changes are underway.
On the Radar: Our Fleet
The deicing truck is an essential tool for the safety of travelers. However, most passengers are not aware of their function or don’t know of their existence! These trucks are essential since they allow the application of deicing and anti-icing products in order to have a contamination-free aircraft at take-off.
On the Radar: Training
At Aeromag, we know that our employees are the breath and soul of our successes. And I, as manager of the training department, understand that to achieve our goals we need to provide them with all the necessary tools, training, and qualifications to be safe and efficient in their tasks.
On the Radar: Busy Thanksgiving
As we creep our way through November and note that the daylight starts to disappear more alarmingly, I cannot refrain from the memories of Thanksgiving as a child. Indeed, I reminisce, tracing an outline of my hand, with fingers spread as the base for my "turkey drawing" that would surely end up on the side of the refrigerator.
On the Radar: New Technology
Why the aviation industry should embrace new technologies with enthusiasm and caution. As we all know, the aviation industry has been deeply affected over the last few years and everyone had to find new ways to operate in this context.
On the Radar: Safety Training
Most people understand why safety is crucial for air travel, but not as many understand how deicing plays a role in keeping passengers safe.
On the Radar: Women in Leadership Roles
Why the aviation industry must support women in their career development. Launched in 2019, the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) 25by2025 aims to change the gender balance within the aviation industry.
