It looks like they are using a flame thrower to de-ice the airplane, but I suspect it must be a trick of the light. De-icing a small jet like this costs about $1500.
De-icing a large airliner can cost $10,000. Most of the expense is for the fluid.
Given the amount of heat distortion of the background, I wonder if there might be another aircraft nearby, just out of the picture.
Even turboprops produce a heck of a lot of hot air as you can see from the blurring of the background here.
