Even if you figure out some way to drain the water and keep the rest of the
surface (taxi way.. parking etc) the amount of head required to keep the
runways clear and to maintain a warm temperature with the wind blowing is
a very expensive process. even if you solve the fog issue, drain issue and the
construction issues.. its remains very expensive.

unless you come up with a cheap fuel alternative
(or move the airport to a warm place)


So far, its cheaper to displace the snow instead of melting it.
