The Safegate Group is upgrading Sarajevo Airport’s airfield ground lighting system (AGL) by transitioning it to LED technology. As a result, the airport expects to minimise power consumption and lower maintenance costs. The modernisation project starts with a complete exchange of all existing halogen lights for Taxiways Alpha, Bravo and Charlie to LED lights. The full plan includes fully replacing the Category II system. Despite the installation costs of LED airfield lighting, which tends to be higher than halogen, the advantages make the investment worthwhile. Sarajevo Airport expect to benefit from fewer field inspections, expansive lamp fixture durability, and higher winter operations efficiency, which are key factors for its performance and long-term goals.
Way to go Sarajevo! Investment is the only way forward!
