Runway Lighting & Airfield Electrical installations at King Fahd International Airport (DMM)

تركيبات إضاءة المدارج والأنظمة الكهربائية للمطارات في مطار الملك فهد الدولي

Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) is the most safety-critical electrical system on any airport: inset and elevated LED runway edge, centreline, threshold, touchdown-zone, taxiway centreline, stop-bar and PAPI lighting, all driven by Constant Current Regulators and an individually addressed lighting control and monitoring system (ILCMS). It interconnects with the A-SMGCS, ATC tower and airfield MV ring. Specifications follow ICAO Annex 14 and FAA AC 150/5345. Buyers are airports, national CAAs and the civil contractors delivering new runways and rehabilitation packages.

Covering 776 square kilometres, DMM is the largest airport site in the world by land area — an absurdly oversized template that includes its own Aramco terminal and Royal pavilion. For years it punched below its weight; now it is catching up, with 13.2 million passengers in 2024 and a new masterplan announced in 2023 to lift capacity to 40 mppa. Riyadh Air and a buoyant Eastern Province economy are reshaping the traffic curve.
