ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An aircraft de-icing system is disclosed which comprises an aircraft-washing hardstanding onto which an aircraft can be moved, means for spraying de-icing fluid onto the aircraft, and means for collecting and carrying away the fluid. In order to enable the fluid to be removed from the hardstanding quickly and reliably, the hardstanding is constructed so as to comprise a substantially planar surface layer of so-called drainage asphalt, and an impervious layer which is located beneath the planar surface layer and which slopes steeply down towards drainage pipes, so as to collect and carry away the de-icing fluid passing down through the surface layer. The system also preferably includes a pump arranged to draw air down through the surface layer so as to entrain therewith any water vapour formed and thus prevent the formation of vapour clouds liable to rise from the hardstanding.
