Rhodes Airport

The island of Rhodes has been inhabited since prehistoric times, having been a cultural and economic center of Ancient Greece. It is also home to one of the seven wonders of the world: the Colossus of Rhodes. It’s one of Greece’s most popular islands and one of Europe’s favourite tourist destinations for its rich history, medieval architecture and beautiful beaches.

Rhodes Airport, Greece’s fourth largest airport,  is located on the west side of the island of Rhodes. Due to the old Maritsa military airport not meeting the island’s need for a modern, civil airport, the new Rhodes International Airport was built in 1977.

For the airport’s single runway, which is 3305m long and 60m wide, Signalight offered the following products:

• Polaris Threshold – used to set up a temporary or semi-permanent lighting system to allow aircraft or helicopters to land on grass strips, frozen lakes, roadways, or as an emergency runway lighting on major airports
• Polaris Runway End – which marks the end of the runway
• Solar Runway Lighting
• Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) – which signals the pilots if they are on the correct landing angle
• Solar Power System

The lighting system is controlled through radio, with LORA technology.

Our high-quality products and lighting systems comply not only with the customer’s needs, but also with ICAO and FAA regulations.
