Tips For Protecting Your Runway Lighting From Extreme Weather

Extreme weather conditions can strike at any time, in any place, and with varying degrees of severity. The effects of harsh weather on airport lighting fixtures, wiring, control equipment, and other components can be devastating to normal operations, significantly impacting the system’s ability to support runway and taxiway safety. Although there’s no way to stop extreme weather from occurring, airport operators can take steps to help mitigate the effects on their runway lighting systems. However, it’s first essential to understand how snow, sand, temperature fluctuations, and other weather-related conditions and events can impact their runway lighting infrastructure.

5 Essential Considerations When Upgrading Your Runway Lighting System

System upgrades are often necessary for most forms of technology, including runway lights. Making informed lighting system choices not only helps keep your runways operating safely and efficiently, but they also open up your airport to additional revenue and expansion opportunities. In this month’s blog, we discuss five key considerations we believe should drive your purchasing decisions.

Why Smaller Airports Should Invest In Advanced Runway Lighting

When one thinks of airport lighting systems, images of high-traffic runways and complex lighting systems providing navigational aid to pilots of large aircraft during landing and taxiing along the busy tarmac often come to mind. It’s a given that large airports such as JFK, O’Hare, and Heathrow would have high-tech runway infrastructures. However, the importance of similar systems enhancing the safety and efficiency of the thousands of small and regional airports that comprise the backbone of national and local aviation networks can’t be ignored. The challenge for many of these airports is that they are operated by minimal staff, often have an aging infrastructure, and sometimes have budget constraints that make investing in advanced runway lighting an unaffordable luxury.
