The study is aimed at analysing aeronautical methods of runway cleaning from contamination to improve the efficiency of maintenance and safety of aviation operations. The study used aerodynamic analyses, data on high-speed airflow technologies, chemicals, and automatic control systems and sensors to comprehensively assess the effectiveness of runway de-icing. The results of the study showed that the use of aeronautical methods of runway cleaning significantly increases the efficiency of removing contaminants such as snow, ice, and dust particles. It was found that directed high-speed airflows effectively reduce cleaning time compared to traditional mechanical methods, reducing the risk of damage to the runway surface. In addition, the integration of these methods with automatic control systems and sensors can improve cleaning safety and reduce the negative impact on the environment. The combined use of aeronautical technologies with chemicals was also found to be effective, making these approaches promising for use at airports with high flight intensity. The study confirmed the feasibility of introducing such technologies to ensure the safety and economic efficiency of aviation operations. The analysis also showed that the use of aeronautical methods reduces the need for frequent re-cleaning of runways, which helps to reduce operating costs. In addition, the use of these technologies helps to reduce the amount of deposits on the runway surface, which has a positive impact on the durability of the pavement. The research introduces a new approach to runway cleaning, showing how aeronautical methods can improve the efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness of aviation operations, opening up prospects for further innovation in this area
