“Cape Town International Airport is by far one of Africa’s busiest airports and since the runway will continue to support air traffic during the course of the upgrade, this project demands impeccable standards of quality,” said Christian Onselaere, CEO, ADB. “We are honored that Airports Company South Africa, a long-standing partner, values the proficiency of our personnel, and trusts our ability to implement this project flawlessly.” 

ADB Airfield Solutions will supply and install its new AD Lights for the runway centerline, touchdown and taxiway centerline, the new EREL LED runway edge lights as well as runway closure crosses, which are part of its “green”, energy-efficient, LED lighting portfolio. The new closure markers will also allow easier airfield maintenance by allowing the airport staff to close commercial operations on the runway when needed.
