Aeromag Launches AI Software to Cut Deicing Costs and Glycol Use
Aeromag, an aircraft deicing and glycol recycling company, released GestOp AI on April 20, a software platform that uses artificial intelligence to optimize deicing operations at airports and airlines. The tool aims to reduce glycol consumption by 3% to 10% per season while lowering fuel costs and operational time.
The software was developed in collaboration with Vooban and builds on operations management technology Aeromag built internally years ago. Gabriel Lépine, co-CEO of Aeromag, said the platform delivers "a predictive, efficient" solution that "will save time, reduce costs, glycol and fuel consumption."
What the software does
GestOp AI handles task execution, safety monitoring, and resource optimization across the deicing process. The system analyzes operational data to recommend when and how much glycol to apply, reducing waste without compromising aircraft safety or performance.
For managers overseeing airport or airline operations, the software's efficiency gains translate to lower budgets. A 3% to 10% reduction in glycol use represents significant savings across a full deicing season, particularly at northern airports where winter operations span months.
Current adoption
Several Canadian airlines and airports are already using the software. Aeromag operates deicing services at 17 airports across Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
The company has set a target to reach carbon neutrality by 2035 and is developing additional deicing technologies alongside fluid recovery and recycling services.
