Why Arlanda Airport has never closed (day out with the snow removal team!)

A winter storm has rolled in with lots of snow and high winds and we have behind the scenes access with Stockholm Arlanda Airport's snow removal team. That means a tour of the garage, a look at the various machinery they use to plow and transport snow, melt ice and monitor runway conditions, a look at their control room (which also features Flightradar24, what do you know?) and a ride in one of the massive PSB (plow sweep blow) machines that cruise down the runways in formation around the clock during winter weather. What an impressive operation! Join us for some excellent winter action.
