The Central Deicing Facility (CDF) at Lester B. Pearson International Airport (LBPIA) was an initiative first developed in 1996 under the direction of Transport Canada. Maintaining flight surfaces clean of ice and snow, simplifying communications between controllers, pilots and deicing crews; and minimizing water pollution, were all factors governing the design of this project. An airline accident at Dryden, Ontario on March 10, 1989 and a collision between a deicing vehicle and a Boeing 747-400 on January 21, 1995 at Dorval, Quebec were both examined closely to mitigate the potential of similar incidents happening. Centralization of the de-icing process was determined to be an essential first step in meeting these goals. The facility was located to minimize aircraft holdover time (eliminating the need for `re-sprays') whilst maximizing containment of effluent and increasing throughput to meet or exceed future launch capacity. The project was also initiated to replace existing de-icing positions at the perimeter of the Terminal 1 and 2 Aprons. The construction of the CDF project was ultimately constructed under the direction of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority between April 1998 and October 1999.
