Airfield electrical GTAA

The GTAA Airfield Electrical Maintenance Team has not only corrected over 5200 lights on the airfield since August 2022, but they have also maintained the ability for aircraft to safely arrive and depart at night and in low visibility conditions. This team was recognized for their tireless efforts to keep the travelling public, aircraft, pilots, the aviation community and other GTAA airside staff safe during night operations!

Congratulations to this outstanding team at our Fire Emergency Services Training Institute!
