| Liverpool John Lennon Airport completes landing lights upgrade Whilst work on improving areas in the terminal building for the millions of passengers using Liverpool John Lennon Airport (JLA) each year has been high profile in recent months, the Airport has also been upgrading and improving essential facilities for its many airline customers too. Some £600,000 has been invested by Peel Airports to replace and upgrade the Airport's approach lights for Runway 27, at the eastern end of the airfield, which are essential in aiding the safe and efficient arrival of aircraft landing at JLA both during the day and night. Some 230 new lights have now been installed on 142 poles to replace those fitted some 20 years ago, with these works taking over five months to complete. The new approach lights will ensure that appropriate aircraft can continue to land in Category III landing conditions, which are associated with poor visibility. The work was carried out by Airfield lighting experts Edward Dewhurst Ltd who completed the job despite the severe winter weather experienced in early December. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
