Alright. Maybe I was wrong about the cost
However, it is sole supply, on a on-demand basis right? Planes contact the airport operator if they need it (as opposed to, say, airlines having to contract an external company to position some deicing equipment at CDG in advance *just in case* their planes need it)?
