The IDS Advantage

IDS is a unique company. The IDS Mission Statement emphasizes our goal of providing the safest, most cost-effective and customer-focused deicing service in the industry through investment in people, training and cutting-edge technology.

IDS is a specialized company that delivers a consistent, reliable deicing service to our airline customers every day. Last season, we de-iced over
24,000 aircraft at seven (7) locations.

IDS has the largest fleet of “forced air” trucks in the world, which minimizes the glycol being sprayed.
We have chosen to brand our company with “forced air” because it makes sense environmentally and
it allows a low cost to our customers due to the minimal usage of glycol.

In addition to the advantages of knowing when to use “forced air,” IDS continues to re-engineer and
develop other advantages that meet our goals to be the safest, low-cost, high-quality deicing provider.
The entire company (400+ employees in season and 53 employees off season) focuses exclusively
on deicing and deicing-related services.

IDS, as a company continues to take the lead position in growth and expansion.
We continue to purchase new equipment, and based on our customers’ requests,
enter into new markets to bring cost-effective deicing services to each new location.
No other deicing company can match our growth over the last two years in locations
or in sales.
