OsloI applaud the management for a bold but tough decision made in order to help insure the high standards of the units, already operating well within North America and the subject of recent testing by the U.S. military. Note the following paragraphs:
“the deicing operator conducted a limited number of tests in a manner that did not meet long established, industry standard, infrared aircraft deicing procedures, which have been adopted by all of Radiant's other satisfied domestic and international airline customers. At the end of the test period the deicing operator decided not to extend the test period. Under the terms of the test agreement, if the operator did not want to continue using the system, Radiant and the operator must remove the system.”
So, the operator who didn’t use the system properly, doesn’t want to continue using the system, and therefore under the terms of the contract the system must be removed.
However the next sentence reads
“The Company is exploring options to keep the InfraTek facility at the Oslo Airport.”
As this technology has been proven to work above and beyond expectations when used properly, I’m sure it will be no time before another competent operator is found for the Oslo operation.
