Hej

not sure if theres any offcial rankings, but they sure are some of the best. but the Norwegian teams definitely give them a run for their money ;P

nah like every country has that one airport they claim is the best in the world or best in Europe so hard to say who is the best. but like elementalgolem said Norway probably gives them a run for their money. also don't forget it's just fucking stockholm there is no such thing as harsh winters there. just average winters that the city cunts think is extreme because they never ben outside the city a day in their lives and they are all snowflakes.

Grymt jobbat grabbar och tjejer!

@Grodstark Fint att du ger cred till dina kollegor.

Wish you a great day at work. Hope some customer will make you smile.

It's true! Thanks for the comment.

Yes and Arlanda may get 1-2 more runways so they will have around 4-5 runways because Bromma Airport is closing and all the flights from there is moving to Arlanda Airport. But first Arlanda Airport has to expand and make room for all the flights that belongs to Bromma Airport can be moved to Arlanda Airport.

Helsinki shut down once in a while, been there, it is not fun.

@@tseyksuli4541That won't happen until 2038 at the earliest, that's when Bromma airports contract runs out, if it is not renewed. Though while the red-greens wants to shut down the airport after 2038, the current government does not.

De-icing is done by Ground crew which are other private companies, main 3 are SGH, Aviator and Menzies. Swedavia maintains runways, taxiways, ATC, landside maintenance and ground equipment that is shared between ground crew such as stairs, chocks, ground power.

Windshield "til you show up"

It was closed when I returnera due to snowfall dec 5, 2012

let's pretend it didn't happen. :^)

@@cykeldoktorn4241 Ok. It was closed one time :)

@@cykeldoktorn4241 There was less landings and take offs because of the weather but they didn't closed.

that day in the news in Sweden the word usedwas that it was closed - it made my return trip a nightmare@@frazzefraz I remember this very vividly as the same moment i turned on my phone after landning m Holland, my friend called to deliver that information.

I live 30km ( 20 miles ) from Arlanda here in south Eastern Sweden. We don't get that much cold or snow. On average the winter temperature is just a few degrees below freezing ( roughly 25-30 F ?) And half of the Christmas days are without snow on the ground. It's not as extreme as most people think. However the snowy season can be quite long.

@@hnorrstrom Very interesting!

What did you do during that period?

Kinda true, i can’t say about every airport, but here in Stockholm (Arlanda) it works pretty good

I never have problem with the snow removal, only if its a snowstorm during rushhour, then the snowplows might get stuck in traffic.

The one that reguarly shuts down due to heavy snowfall? Granted, it snow much more there than in stockholm

Was about to say the same 😂. Impressive indeed but I guess they have the permanently available resources that the city doesn’t have. But a very good track record for Arlanda!

The biggest problem is all the cars that are in the way. Hard to remove snow when cars are blocking it. Not to mention that there is 4.000 streets covering 350 km!

Yeah, the total of vehicles traveling Stockholm every day is around 2 million. The Essingeleden have 330000 unique vehicles traveling every day. So keeping all those streets clean all day every day is almost impossible 👍

Helsinki in Finland and Arlanda in Swedern are always open all year round airports. Our winters in Nordic countries can be very harsh. Actually the Finns and Swedes are giving knowhow to varoius countries 🙂

@@mathias61 need to teach the usa airports a bunch of things

The name Øveråsen that you see on much of the equipment is a Norwegian company that specialises in snow removal equipment for airports. You find them all over Europe and in the USA as well. But the people operating the equipment are just as important!

All that equipment showed in this video is made by the Norwegian company Overaasen, no 1 in the world when it comes to snow removal on airports

there is no competition between scandinavian family! except skiing

it's not as inportant airport as this one sadly. And kinda why it gets less clearing ect

I think they said it was a blower at 2:42

Good use.

At this airport, yes. But public transport in the cities, no.

@@jockejocke1Where are you talking about. Where I travel it is maintained.

The heat would not be enough to handle Nordic winters. For example in January of this year even the southern parts of Finland had -37C during the day and in the north temperatures were below -40C. The snow might melt with heating but it would immediately turn in to solid ice in those temperatures.

The equipment is actually Swedish (Volvo) , the warning texts just happened to be in Norwegian.

They are using Øveraasen mowers, which is Norwegian!@@roslilja

@@roslilja Trucks are, plows are made in NO :)

I bet it is the same throughout many industries. I work at a small furniture factory. We have five or six modern carpentry machines, all with a completely unique OS and interface. They all use different symbols, different menu structures, different boot up procedures, different calibration procedures and CAD languages... Two years in, I'm tearing my hair out every day. Of course we also operate a bunch of old manually operated machines. With them, I could walk in the first day on the job and start production without any introduction whatsoever.

-The routes for the vehicles are pre-planned, with some flexibility for changing conditions. These routes and vehicle coordination are practiced during the off-season to gain experience. -You have one guy, the Snow Chief (supervisor) in charge per shift. He monitors weather conditions from national services, as well as from monitoring equipment on the airfield, as well as embedded in the surfaces (taxiways and runways). This aids the Snow Chief in decision making regarding when to start treating with chemicals or physical removal, as well as which surfaces to treat. -At larger airports, different sections of the airfield have different priority. Usually, the fire stations, the largest runway(s), the high-speed exits, the terminal area, the aircraft de-icing pad, and the taxiways between these locations forming first priority. With outfield runways or smaller runways and connecting taxiways being second priority, and less used areas like cargo or private access (corporate jet) ramps getting third priority. -The core machines are: solid spreaders (sand or pellet de-icer chems), liquid spreaders (giant crop sprayers, essentially) for liquid anti-ice chems, tow-behind or multi-function vehicles (called PSB in the video), high-speed brooms for smaller areas, snow blowers for bulk snow pile, loaders or dozers for snow disposal, and snow melters (giant boilers). -Every action on a movement surface (taxiway or runway) is coordinated by the tower. That can be an airplane, winter weather equipment, or a pickup truck. Every vehicle out there has the same radios as a plane, and can be required to talk to the tower. -Typically, you have a very experienced airfield driver (or an operations person) that leads a pack of vehicles. That person has the job of speaking with the tower and coordinating closures of the runways for cleaning, or monitoring aircraft movements and routes to guide their group around active taxiways safely. -I must impress upon you that there is so much to operating on an airfield. Its like learning how to drive all over again, and all the rules are different and often un-intuitive. That is on a normal day! -During winter weather, that is amplified by low visibility, fatigue, cluttered communication between so many vehicles, and the complexities of operating equipment with 5 radios, 3 control sticks, 4 wheel steering, 2 engines, 4 screens, and bigger than an oversize 18-wheeler truck. -Sincerely, an airfield operator and 'snow fighter' at a large international airport.

What are those issues?

Sweden only had THREE land based casinos (all government operated) in the country and still didn’t manage to turn a profit. That’s how useless our politicians are.

@@peterryan8472 most of the airport is 50 years old, most gates dont have aircon for the aircraft, the different terminals baggage systems are seperate, no gates have fixed 28v Ground power for small aircraft so we have to use diesel powered ones or movable electric powered ones, The gates are very small so often there is almost no space to move around with vehicles and most gates dont have heating in the ground which means they get covered in snow and ice and where they cant get to with machines snow stays and gets turned into ice

@@peterryan8472 Inefficient and non-integrated terminal layout (long walks, terrible for connections); Poor parking area utilization; Very high penalty fee for using the train station. The gov. lets Arlanda Express suck money from the Swedes and sends the profits to Luxemburg. 01R/19L is far away from anything important. Even so, no independent parallel approaches, which means departure delays during rushhour.

@@einar8019 thanks Einar. Does not sound great but perhaps the fault of the design engineers than the politicians?

And multiple times after that. Having been a frequent flyer between ARL and OSL I would say that light snow was al it took to close Arlanda. OSL could close also but then we are talking extreme snowfall. Maybe ARL has learned from OSL

😂

There's only a single airport in the world that is slightly more north, gets more snow and handle as many passengers as Stockholm Arlanda and that's Oslo Gardermoen.

Lol the northern airports in Sweden you can clear with a snow shovel. Their whole airport is smaller than one Runway at Arlanda. You didn't see snow in the video?

Gör väl inget att de är mindre flygplats hade ändå varit kul o se. Tycker jag iallafall ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @@Grodstark

@@DisGuyHekz Om man tar Luleå (störst flygplats i Norrland) som exempel så har de ca 25 starter och landningar per DYGN + ett mindre antal från Flygvapnet ibland med timmar däremellan. De kan röja snö som vanligt utan att ta hänsyn till konstant trafik vilket var grejen men hela videon. Som jämförelse startar och landar ca 35-40 flyg varje TIMMA på Arlanda på morgonen.

Its located in the old parish "Arland" north of Stockholm. I have seen the airport grow and its impressive. Cheers.

@@andersfant4997 thank you!

Also (att) landa means (to) land, so it's a bit clever.
