Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) System at Chandragadhi and Janakpur Airports

Project No.: MSI-PRJ-74-151
Project Name: Supply, Delivery, Installation and Testing of Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) System at Chandragadhi and Janakpur Airport

Mahavir Shree International Pvt. Ltd. successfully completed the supply, delivery, installation, and testing of state-of-the-art Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) systems at Chandragadhi and Janakpur Airports. This upgrade transformed both facilities from day-only operations to fully 24/7 capable airports, improving flight reliability and passenger experience.

Key Deliverables

✓ Complete ADB Safegate airfield ground lighting systems installation.

✓ Runway lighting, runway threshold, and runway end lighting systems.

✓ Taxiway lighting systems.

✓ Advanced airfield lighting control and monitoring systems, fully ICAO-compliant.

✓ Seamless execution at busy airports with work scheduled during no-flight periods and outside airside areas when operational.

Project Challenges and Execution
The project involved working in the Terai region, where both airports were previously closed during winter due to poor visibility. MSI teams navigated tight deadlines, unpredictable weather, and increasing air traffic. Installation required precise coordination at night and early morning hours while maintaining airport operations. The vibrant terrains of Jhapa and Dhanusha districts added to the complexity.

Impact/Results

✓ Enabled night flight operations, significantly increasing flight movements.

✓ Enhanced reliability and efficiency of airport operations.

✓ Improved passenger flow and access to aviation services in the region.

✓ Supported the growth of Chandragadhi and Janakpur airports as key transport hubs in eastern and central Terai.

Conclusion
The successful implementation of AGL systems at Chandragadhi and Janakpur Airports showcases MSI’s expertise in aviation infrastructure and commitment to elevating airport safety, operational efficiency, and passenger experience. This milestone reflects MSI’s ability to deliver high-quality projects under challenging conditions while meeting ICAO standards.
