De-icing before take off . It is very dangerous to take off with ice on the wings, so all the planes where de-iced before take off.

  • Fair point abtehi0297, yes there are 737NG (600/700/800) out there without winglets but those were early production models of the 737NG. Boeing eventually decided to make winglets standard on the 737NG. It really depends what airline the aircraft been de-iced in this video is from. If it is a British Airways 737 then it is a 737 classic (300/400/500). If it does not belong to BA then anybody's guess what model of 737 this is.

  • I was flying with SAS (scandinavian airlines system) and it was a 737-800. I think the plane is about ten years old. Believe me i know what type i was flying :)

  • 737-500 not 800

  • I know its a 737-800.( I was there)

  • what is it boiling hot water?

  • It is glykol.

  • yeah its hot water, so that it gets cold and freezes on the wing after a while to protect the airplane from icing.

  • 737-500 not 800 u idiot it has no winglets

  • It seems not to be a good day for flying!

  • 1. its glycol.

    2. glycol cost vary depending on location of airport. but were i work type 1 is 64/L and type 4 is 12$/L. the minimum we use for type 1 is 60L (light frost) and type for is mandatory atleast 110L. so it cost alot of money

  • its a A319 retards

  • @joel9

    lol spraying water on the wings wouldnt be so good...

    even if its boiling hot when it's sprayed, it will freeze again very quickly

  • @Reaper319 that is not a b737 is a a319

  • No British airways only own 737-400 look on their fleet online. No 800 for ba.

  • @JaCkErS59 No they operate 737-300,400 and 500's
