Airports and Airfield Navigational Aids

Airports and Airfield Navigational Aids

Our company has finished a contract to upgrade an international airport that is used by 7.5 million passengers every year. The airport has two runways and we have upgraded one of the runways from ICAO CAT I to ICAO CAT II. The taxiways connected to this runway has been renovated and the job has been finished in under one year while the runway was under limited closure. We have also operated and maintained the system for the following year.

Detailed information has been given below about the project and the work that has been done by our company on the project. If you would like to receive more information about Air Navigotaional Systems or this project please contact us.
